ジョドワーニュの湖・トップ19

The pond, which has been there for years, has a small wooden platform for those who are interested, and is located near the small bridge over the stream once you've descended the paths leading to the higher village center. You are now at the same altitude as the road to Aarschot and can walk around the pond, which is connected to the meadows by the path. The Rozendaalbeek is a tiny stream that rises just outside Tienen on the northwest side in two amphitheater-shaped slopes. After just a few hundred meters, the two separate branches meet and together form the Roosdaalbeek, which is indicated on maps as the "Vlietende beek" (Flying Brook). Typical of the Rozendaalbeekvallei nature reserve is its secluded location between the two parishes of Vissenaken. Yet, you hardly notice this as you walk through the valley. The wet grasslands furthest downstream between Metselstraat and Hymelinusstraat, which were purchased first, are the most visible. The other plots are less well-known because they offer less visibility. Source and much more at http://www.velpe-mene.be/tienen/rozendaalbeekvallei.htm

In the Paddepoel you will find a unique combination of species such as blue button, caraway, tormentil, cat's thorn, pale sedge, wild bertram and umbrella hawkweed. In early spring, hundreds of wood anemones bloom, a very rare phenomenon in grasslands. The fact that the wood anemones bloom there shows that it is a very old and undisturbed grassland. Thanks to 25 years of targeted management, several rare species have increased significantly. There are thousands of caraway, one of the largest Flemish populations. Yellow-green sedge first emerged in 2013 and is doing well. The Paddepoel is home to grasslands with lots of knotweed, sweet grass, large hawkweed and golden oat. In addition, there is a marsh marigold grassland with lots of field rush, two-row sedge and rough bedstraw. Broad-leaved orchis is expected here soon. Natuurpunt has also dug and restored a number of ponds in the Paddepoel. Salamanders feel very comfortable there. The alpine newt and small newt already live in the oldest part of the Paddepoel, but we hope that the endangered crested newt will also discover the pools.
