The second stork nest in the Negenoord nature reserve has recently been filled by a pair of storks. To keep them there and see chicks peeping out of the nest in a few months, visitors are asked to stay on the paths and keep dogs on a leash.

Hiking

On a hike through the Negenoord nature reserve near Stokkem, you will see several stork nests. With a little luck, you can watch storks breeding during these hikes.
