Close to the parking lot at the Tuiltermolen, along the Zolderse Kiezel, you can enjoy the view of the Demer valley and its marsh and water birds. A bench and a peephole at child height increase the attractiveness for less mobile and young visitors. A long approach bridge connects the forward cabin with the hiking trail.

Hiking

Here you can watch birds without disturbing them. Of course you mustn't make any noise, because that can frighten the birds and chase them away. Information about the birds can be found on the large information board.

Hiking

On the Herckenrode abbey site, a bird watching hut has been placed near the parking lot at the Tuiltermolen. Here you can enjoy the view of the Demer Valley and its marsh and water birds.
A long approach bridge connects the advanced hut with the hiking trail. A bench and a viewing hole at child height increase the attractiveness for disabled people and young visitors.
