Tips

Cycling

De Maten is one of the large pond areas in the area De Wijers, the land of 1,001 ponds. This largest contiguous pond area in Belgium is a true bird paradise. In De Maten you can enjoy two worlds: the nature of the dry heath and grasslands on inland dunes, and the wet nature in ponds and peaty lowlands in the landscape.

Cycling through the nature reserve "De Maten", Even more beautiful when the heather is in bloom.
