In the Mechelse Heide nature reserve lies an idyllic lake that adds a unique charm to the landscape. From the footpaths and clearings along the shore, you have a magnificent view of the water, which is surrounded by heathland, forests, and sand dunes.

The lake attracts countless birds and other animals, making it a popular spot for nature lovers and photographers. In clear weather, the clouds and heather are reflected in the water's surface, adding to the ambiance.

It serves as a resting place during walks and offers visitors an impressive glimpse of the diversity of this nature reserve: from vast heathlands to tranquil water features.
