The Réserve Naturelle des Décanteurs de la Sucrerie de Genappe is an important nature reserve in Genappe. It is the largest nature reserve in Brabant Wallon, with an area of 77 hectares.
This nature reserve was originally part of the old sugar factory of Genappe, and included several green areas and settling basins. It officially became a nature reserve in 2015.
The reserve is rich in biodiversity, with more than 200 bird species recorded in the last twenty years. This makes it one of the most important ornithological sites in Wallonia. The reserve is also home to several special vegetation communities.
The reserve is managed by the Department of Nature and Forests of the Walloon Region (DNF) with the collaboration of the ASBL Environnement Dyle.

A beautiful stop along the Ravel L141. It is really enjoyable here. Herons, ducks and other birds galore in a beautiful setting. And with a bit of luck, the reflection on the water will make it all even more picturesque. I just couldn't get enough of it.
