    Papendel is a marshy nature reserve near the historic 'Hof van Uythem' with hay and reed fields, forest and dense shrubs. There is a long, stretched pond and a large pond with adapted sloping sides, specially constructed for the numerous amphibians that live here. In the summer, hundreds of spotted orchids grow here and the broad-leaved wasp orchid is also present. In this beautiful reserve, 53 species of moss and 19 species of lichen can be admired. The Fire Butterfly walk takes you past the large pond and the reed field through the area.
