Hiking

It is worth leaving the path for a moment and taking in this beautiful little lake.

Hiking

Here you have to go off the path for a moment, through the forest, to see any water...

Hiking

The banks of this lake were excavated in a planar manner in 2018, as part of the Berlare Broek - Donkmeer nature development project (397 ha), in order to significantly increase the surface area of water reeds. By desilting the watercourses in the area and clearing some of the forest and shrubs, several important species that were hoped for have already emerged: large buttercup, rush rush and marsh ragwort were spotted and several spoonbills have also visited the area.
