Hiking
Although it is known that fish ponds were built in the Wijnendalebos, we can assume that this pond was built as a reservoir for the source of the Fonteinbeek, the Roopipe fountain.
The Swal is a wet Koekelaarse lake. Due to its location, a lot of water comes off, but the water that seeps in also finds its way out horizontally because it hits an impenetrable layer of clay. Result: 7 springs, of which the Roopîjpfontein is one.
