The 200-hectare nature reserve is best known for its abundance of birds. It consists mainly of fish farming ponds and meadows and is the heart of the large landscape unit de Wijers, the largest contiguous pond area in the Benelux.

Beautiful nature reserve where many birds have found their habitat. A bird watchers paradise.
Just enjoy what's going on in your field of view. Each season has its own protagonists. The seasons also give the landscape a different color and scent every time.
TIP: an insect spray is not an unnecessary luxury during your discovery of this humid nature reserve.
