The Keizer Karelvijver is one of the twelve ponds on the upper reaches of the IJse. They are fed by springs and by the river IJssel that rises further in the Sonian Forest. The Keizer Karel pond has recently been cleaned up and there is a nice walking path along it.

Very pretty pond near the Groenendael arboretum. Recently, this one received a "facelift" during which a large number of diseased trees were removed. Very nice unobstructed view of the pond and cafe / restaurant with pleasant terrace (Sonian) nearby.
