The willow arboretum in the Fochel Oost holding basin is not only there for nature lovers who want to know more about the dozens of willow species, you can also enjoy walking over the many wooden bridges. Be sure to stay on the paths, because here and there there are places with quicksand. Coats of arms, boat frames, clogs and fences used to be made from willow wood. Today, fast-growing willow species are used, among other things, for high-efficiency energy generation in wood gasifiers.

Hiking

In rainy weather it is swampy to very swampy. High walking shoes keep your feet dry.

Hiking

To the inconsiderate walker, this is just a wet grove with trails that can get quite muddy after rainfall, but to the observant naturalist, this is an arboretum with numerous willow and poplar species. Not just any wet bush.
