Balen: Aeroclub Keiheuvel - Balen-Keiheuvel Airfield
Balen-Keiheuvel Airfield sits on the sandy Campine plain in Flanders, Belgium, where open grassland meets woodland typical of the Kempen. Based at Keiheuvel, Aeroclub Keiheuvel forms part of Balen’s recreational aviation scene, centred on light aircraft operations rather than commercial airline traffic. The airfield’s compact facilities and broad grassy operating area give it the character of a local general-aviation field. Balen lies in the province of Antwerp in northeastern Belgium, within the wider Campine region that continues across the Belgian-Dutch border. Keiheuvel is also a local recreation area, connecting aviation with the wooded, sandy surroundings of Balen.

Tucked into the sandy heathlands of Belgium’s Kempen region, Balen is a place whose character is shaped by the Grote Nete, canals and a long industrial tradition. The municipality includes the villages of Olmen and Wezel, where zinc production has been part of local life since the late 19th century, helping transform this rural corner of Antwerp province into an industrial community. Woodland, heath and waterside paths temper that working identity, while Keiheuvel is a well-known local recreation area. Balen also provides insight into the low-lying, less urban side of Flanders beyond its historic cities. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Balen and Flanders.

Flanders occupies the low-lying northern half of Belgium. Its terrain runs from the North Sea coast and reclaimed polders to fertile river plains, with the Scheldt linking cities and ports before reaching the sea in the Netherlands. Dutch is the principal language, and the region's historic towns retain a strong civic identity: Bruges is known for its medieval centre, while Antwerp developed into one of Europe’s major port cities and a global diamond-trading centre. Flemish painting, lace-making and beer brewing remain central to the cultural story, alongside a contemporary design and food scene.

Belgium occupies a low-lying North Sea coastline and river plain in northwestern Europe. Dutch-speaking Flanders lies largely to the north, while French-speaking Wallonia reaches south towards the wooded Ardennes; Brussels is officially bilingual. The Scheldt and Meuse have long connected Belgian cities with the North Sea and continental Europe. Brussels’ Grand-Place, framed by ornate guildhalls and the Town Hall, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Medieval Bruges retains canals and merchant architecture, while Antwerp remains a major port on the Scheldt. Belgian beer culture is recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.
