    The nature reserve owes its name to the Zoete Waters, a series of ponds and marshes that have been created over the centuries by the riverbed of the Dijle. The area is characterised by a varied landscape of water, grasslands and forests, which makes it an ideal habitat for many animal species.

    Birdwatchers can indulge themselves here, with a rich offer of both residential and migratory birds. Other wild animals, such as squirrels, deer and foxes, are also regularly spotted in the wooded part of the area.

    When the ponds are filled with water, it will be beautiful there. Due to the long drought, 3 ponds were dry.
