The Spoorwegzate, formerly a busy connection between Tongeren, Sint-Truiden and Tienen, is today a valuable piece of nature. Around 1879, a network of railway and tram lines was constructed between Tienen and Liège, for fast and mass transport between the agglomerations and for the transfer of goods. The old railway bed cuts through Vochtig-Haspengouw. The subsoil consists of clay and sand layers, covered by a layer of loam. The valley bottoms are very humid and were therefore used exclusively as hay and pasture. Later, poplars were also planted. The Fonteinbeek crosses the landscape and flows further into the Mombeek. Rooi Castle, Hoevenaars Castle and Kolmont Castle are historical attractions. On one side of the bed are badger setts, high-stem orchards and fields. On the other side of the riverbed, about 50 metres away, flows the Fonteinbeek with damp grasslands and hayfields, some planted with poplars.

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

Green path on the old railway in the Spoorwegzate nature reserve

Here the Mombeek meanders (again) through the landscape. By straightening and deepening streams in the past, the landscape was confronted with excessively rapid water drainage, desiccation, flooding and loss of biodiversity. Here the focus is again on stream structure restoration and they allow the streams to meander again. The ponds with swamps drain the water slowly and thus flood in places where it is not a nuisance. This allows water to slowly penetrate into the soil.
