Birdwatching Hide De Kuilen

Birds galore... Among the many water ponds there is a large pool hidden among the extensive greenery... A hut gives you a view of the breeding and singing water birds...

There is a beautiful bird watching hut in Testelt. The hut was built in the Demerbroek on a headland with a beautiful view over the large pond. This place was once used as a dump. The place is also sometimes called dirty wells in the area, but the management of Natuurpunt has made this pond a real paradise for a lot of fauna and flora. From the viewing hut you will see many special water birds and also more common species such as grebes, egrets, cormorants and kingfishers. The viewing hut is easily accessible for wheelchair users and can be reached via a footpath that starts at 100 meters from the Wildendriesdijk, at the intersection with the Bergstraat. There is a small car park at this intersection.
