    Tips

    November 6, 2020

    Snepkensvijver is one of the oldest nature reserves in Flanders.
    The Snepkensvijver nature reserve borders the Kempense Heuvelrug and is therefore located in a landscape that was largely shaped by the winds during and after the last ice age. The name already indicates that it is a water feature, water that remains in the extinct dune pan and has formed a fen there. Due to the presence of water, the area has a strong attraction for birds. Originally it was a bird sanctuary, but over the years more and more attention has been paid to the special flora of the gradient between fen and ridge.

        You can completely relax while sitting on the bench with a view of the pond.
