    Beautiful piece of nature against the city of Mechelen. Really worth a visit.

      Den Battelaer is a former floodplain between the Zenne River and the Leuven-Dijle Canal and is home to many plants and animals, including the bluethroat, sedge warbler, gadwall, and marsh forget-me-nots. GGG Zennegat is a sigma floodplain with tidal action, a true spectacle. You can observe rare migratory birds here. You can search for animals and plants along the dikes and hiking trails.

        lots of glass on the unpaved roads, not recommended with a dog
