The MaasMagical Indian Summerdays bring enchantment to MaasMechelen. Autumn walks here mean strolling under a canopy of golden leaves, where each step is a crisp masterpiece. The National Park Hoge Kempen reflects the warm colors of the season, creating a serene backdrop. The aroma of fallen leaves mingles with the fresh air and stimulates the senses. During these days, the enchantment and beauty of autumn fully come to life in MaasMechelen.

 

During the Indian Summer Days, head out with a ranger (nature guide) and (re)discover nature with all your senses.
