Description The Kalmthout Heath (Dutch: Kalmthoutse Heide) is one of the oldest and largest nature reserves of Flanders, Belgium, bordering the Netherlands as part of the Dutch-Belgian cross-border park ‘De Zoom – Kalmthoutse Heide’ which spans about 3,750 hectares. The Kalmthout Heath has been a protected landscape since 1941 and became a state-run nature reserve by Royal Decree in September 1968 after a petition signed by over 100,000 people.

Yea true, especially in the north where this photo was taken ^^ We got some hills down in the south, but nothing close to a real mountain

Yea it's a pretty awesome place, you can really get away from things there (which is pretty rare in Belgium) ^^

Well, there's no mistake; the region I took this photo is called 'Kalmthoutse Heide'... Heide = Heath ^^

They just got a bit confused, they don't know that Heath is a region in Belgium and thought that you meant to type "Beholding the Truth"
