    Hiking

    The nature development project ‘Vijvercomplex Bokrijk-Kiewit’ aims to restore the former fish breeding ponds for the benefit of nature and tries to develop the area as a large sponge, a climate buffer. The area would be transformed into a unique place in Flanders where visitors can experience the attractive Wijer landscape even better and where one can experience what the landscape used to look like.​

    Hiking

    De Wijers is a region in Limburg where true nature lovers are at home. The ponds – we call them Wijers – are a paradise for many rare plants and animals. They form a breathtaking backdrop for walking and cycling. Immerse yourself in the land of 1001 ponds.
