Tips

August 12, 2023

This viewing platform is located on the cobblestone path between Webbekom and Diest, a short distance from Webbekom centre, in Webbekomsbroek (as part of a wider nature reserve). More specifically, it is located on the valve weir on the Grote Leigracht, which you can see clearly from the platform. From here, next to the water of the Leigracht, you can see a wet area with pools that are invisible in summer due to the reeds, in the distance the Sint-Jansberg (witness hill), the nature around Webbekom and the path towards Zelem with the underlying nature. The immediate vicinity of Diest is also visible. Of course you can also spot animals here: birds, but also, for example, deer for those who come at the right time. If necessary, the platform can also partly serve as a shelter. There is a bench with a nice view along the path and you will find an information board about the wetland restoration nearby.

Birdwatching hut with a viewing platform over Webbekoms Broek, located on the dike between the inner area and the outer area. You have a beautiful overview of the nature reserve.

The people of Nature & Forest and the province of Flemish Brabant have placed beautiful educational signs in the covered part of the lookout tower. Here it is about the Webbekoms Broek, why there are streams of rust-brown water and about the former iron road.
