Hiking

A fen is a small, usually shallow lake that occurs on Pleistocene sandy soils. Fens have varying water levels and are rarely larger than a few hectares. Fens are exclusively understood as natural waters. They are fed by rainwater or groundwater.

Hiking

In the heart of the Pietersembos forest in Lanaken lies a tranquil fen, a small body of water that enriches the landscape and provides a valuable habitat for flora and fauna. Surrounded by forest, reed beds, and clearings, the fen offers a serene spot for hikers and nature lovers.

This fen plays an important ecological role, providing a habitat for frogs, aquatic insects, waterfowl, and other small animals. The tranquil water reflects the surrounding forest, making the fen a visual haven during a walk through the woods.
