    Tips

    June 8, 2025

    Small and relatively unknown but enormously rich nature reserve that used to be a chalk quarry and has been reclaimed by nature. You can still see marl and flint in the walls that are not yet completely overgrown.

    The pond where you can reach, among other things, via a viewing hut is central. The area is very diverse and valuable in various ways.

    However, be careful: the path as indicated on Komoot is not entirely correct. At one of the larger pieces of outcropping marl and flint there is a steep staircase down instead of the indicated route. Do not underestimate the path either because there are many steps and they are not always easy, especially not in wet weather. There is also nowhere to hold on. A part of the path is also relatively high.

    I am not going to tell you much about the nature reserve itself for three reasons:

    - There is an enormous wealth of information boards (in French).

    - There is a Dutch blog post that just says it all and you can find it at opstapinhetlandvandedijleendedemer.home.blog/2021/01/01/orp-jauche-le-paradisvan-kalkgroeve-tot-natuurreservaat
    - There is an excellent video report in French at tvcom.be/emission/braben-nature/braben-nature-6-la-reserve-du-paradis/52318
