Winter brook (Beringen)
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Winter brook (Winterbeek) is the mainstream in a network of partially excavated stream beds in Belgium in the Southern Campine region. The Winter brook originates in Beverlo (a district of Beringen), and, after a course of 32 km, it flows into the Demer River in Scherpenheuvel-Zichem. Along this course, the stream changes names multiple times. It is a tributary of the Demer River. The basin spans over 85 km2, and the stream is over 32 kilometers long. The Winter brook flows through the natural area Vallei van de Drie Beken south of the village Deurne. The source area is on the Campine region, at 57.5 m elevation. The confluence with the Demer River is at 17 m elevation. It should not be confused with the Winter brook in Beverst or the slightly more southerly flowing Winter brook in Koersel and Beringen Center, which flows into the Zwarte Beek to the west of Beringen.
