ウェレンの湖・トップ20

Het Vinneは美しい自然保護区ですが、現在は道が閉鎖されており、葦が高いため、湖の眺めはほとんどありません。湖と水鳥を見るには、バードウォッチング小屋または展望台に行く必要があります。ポジティブな点は、この地域の最も湿った部分に新しい遊歩道が建設されていることです。

ポンペリク池は、コンリンク・フィッシャーズ・クラブ「ゲドゥルト」ディペンベークの釣り専用です。

木製の小道でできるだけ多くの区間を建設しているのは素晴らしいことです！泥が多い場合に、変化をつけるのに楽しいです！

Our small country is a patchwork of small-scale nature reserves that overlap and influence each other, and that is also the case here. You are in the Mombeek valley, a stone's throw from Spoorwegzate and the Sint-Annabeek valley. From Opleeuw, a unique grassland hill bends towards Kerniel. Impoverished grass and hay fields of, among other things, glossy oat, marsh marigold and blue grass are in full development here and will attract various plants, including colourful orchids. Finally, note the high-stem orchards of Zammelen, the sloping forest and the many springs. In any case, there are enough information boards along the way to learn and read all about it. In short: variety galore. More about the Mombeek valley, the central area at this location, can be found at https://www.natuurpunt.be/natuurgebieden/mombeekvallei

The ponds of Nieuwenhove are about to change. Nieuwenhove is getting a brand new visitors centre in the form of a pavilion on screw piles at the historic pond, which should make it seem as if it is floating. The building should blend in with the surroundings and biodiversity will play an important role. The reception building will not only be on a jetty at the pond, it will also have to enter into a 'dialogue' with the two well-known existing heritage buildings. In order to be able to create a natural clear fish pond, the carp will also be removed. Everything should be ready by the autumn of 2024. The building and the pond adjustments are just a few changes to the whole. For example, the avenue will be redesigned, the playground will be reorganised, the Kelsbeek will be partly relocated, the canal will be opened up to make water more visible, and so on.

Dorpsbemden-Pomperik is a well-known nature reserve in Diepenbeek, in the valleys of the Demer and the Kaatsbeek (which is close to this highlight). The Pomperik from the name of the reserve is a fishing pond (a beautiful one, by the way). And the Dorpsbemden extend east of the Stationsstraat between the fish pond "De Pomperik" and the Demer. You can read it all (with walking routes) here: https://www.diepenbeek.be/wandelroutes And, where this highlight is located, you will also find an information board that explains it in detail while you enjoy the Pomperik.

Two small pieces. East to the bird hide and west another tiny path before you come around and reach the main road.
