    A large hut with a very educational side, clearly also tailored to schools and youth groups with long benches and packs of boards full of information before discovering the area and learning everything about the great crested newt and other water lovers from the animal world. On the cycle path and bicycle parking. Surrounded by benches and even some sanitary facilities. Also the starting point of the educational Great Crested Newt Park and the first thing you see at the entrance, even if you just come for a visit or to camp.

      The Great Crested Newt hut is gone. Dead. Demolished. Nothing stands in its place yet (except for the installation of "Valleien Vertellen" (Valleys Telling Stories), an open-air exhibition that will move to the Dijle River in early 2026 and previously visited the Demer).
      Will a new hut be built? An illustrated information board says so. And so does the yellow building permit. One local resident, however, has his doubts. But he had more doubts about the events in his neighborhood. So: yes, a new hut will be built unless the axes of the political budget choppers indirectly lead to a different decision in the long term. What it should look like? You can see that on the information board, which also asks for a little more patience.
      In any case: it will remain beautiful here, with or without the hut.

        No, you don't need a hat, a "hut" is Dutch for a hut. This one is dedicated to the crested newt, which is called Kamsalamander in the local language and is found in the area. So take good care and look often in the pools and wet meadows all around.

        You could have your picnic here (please take your rubbish and other leftovers with you) or even light a campfire to - no, not crested newts, they are strictly protected - grill sausages and marshmallows.

        If you like it so much that you want to stay a little longer: You will find a campsite right next door.
