Heyoule, also called after its founder, Charles Tihon, is a nature reserve east of Eben. The area covers more than 3.8 hectares and is managed by Natagora. It is the first nature reserve that was established on the Belgian part of the Sint-Pietersberg in 1973. There are several former flint quarries and calcareous grasslands are also found there. These are home to rare plant species, including bee orchid and green night orchid. Southern insect species, including solitary bee species, also occur there. Bats live in the former quarries. Furthermore, badger and natterjack toad can be mentioned.
