    Tips

    November 26, 2022

    Despite the noise of the highway (similar to that around the Paalse Plas, sometimes less, sometimes more), this has really been a pleasant surprise. A lot of birds (indeed also cormorants, herons, swans, geese, coots and whatever you can think of), ponds, very varied landscape and more. Enjoyed.

    The info: "The Thiewinkel nature reserve is located on the border of the municipalities of Hasselt, Lummen and Heusden-Zolder. Due to its location between the Albert Canal and the E313, the area regularly causes a lot of discussion. The Thiewinkel nature reserve is actually split in two by the E 313 In the western part, Limburgs Landschap vzw tries to preserve and further develop the ponds, humid forests and the richly varied cultural landscape. In the eastern part, also called 'Groene Delle', forest determines the view. Limburgs Landschap wants to gradually transform this forest to a native deciduous forest with open spaces where heathland or swamp can develop, creating an ideal biotope for dragonflies and birds."

      Despite the traffic axes in the area, this biotope was nicely preserved. Lots of aquatic flora and nutrient-rich ponds. Witness to this are the cormorants, egrets and other waterfowl.

        Thiewinkel is a nature reserve near the village of Tiewinkel in the Belgian municipality of Lummen. It is part of the pond region De Wijers and the Laambeekvallei.

          This is a beautiful piece of nature with forest and ponds where you can walk quietly and enjoy different types of birds (cormorants geese swans herons) and so on. In the fall you will come across different mushrooms.
