    A 150-hectare nature reserve where new life is created. Clay mining was already done here before 1895. After 1960, deep mining was done here. Old clay pits and reclaimed sand plains are the last witnesses of an industrial past. Fortunately, there are still a few old clay pits that give new life to fauna and flora. The many old clay pits were used as dumping grounds from about 1970 to 1983.

    It is a pity that a large part now has to be remediated because of soil contamination.

    Certain zones are no longer accessible for walkers or cyclists.

    The Trage Weg or the Keibrekerspad also runs through this nature reserve. This is a quiet road that connects the 2 villages Terhagen and Reet.

      In and around some clay pits, nature does its work and life arises again...
