The lookout tower in nature reserve De Wijers. The view over the pond area is breathtaking from above. The 15 meter high lookout tower is partly in the water and offers a view over the hundreds of ponds.

The observation tower is a few meters away from the cycle path, but you shouldn't miss the view. Really a beautiful piece of nature.

Heidestrand represents "the place to be" for the true nature lover. Here you find yourself in the heart of Wijers, a place of high concentration for many rare animal species. Indeed, the star bittern, the green tree frog and Little Bitterns have made their home here. From the observation tower, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the hundreds of ponds. In addition, here is the center of fish farming: some family fish farms are there. still active You can stay in the campsite or come and swim for a day.
