Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

A fragment of our walking experience...

Sunny Saturday in Zonhoven.

Discovering De Wijers and the Wijvenheide in good company.

However, our adventure was short-lived.

Swarms of mosquitoes and other biting insects targeted the many visitors.

The ruminating Large grazers and Maria van Bijstand left us firmly in the lurch.

Forced and seriously irritated, we prematurely stopped our discovery.

The further discovery of the ‘Land of 1001 Ponds’ will be for another time.

The Red Ponds are located near the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The area consists of two sub-areas of ponds and is located on Hasselt territory south of the Goorstraat.

The Red Ponds are part of the Wijvenheide nature reserve, which, together with the Platwijers and Kolberg in the south, is part of the De Wijers pond region that extends across Central Limburg.
