ランデンの天然記念物・トップ20

This gravel path was named after Jonas Vlayen, a 23-year-old man who was stabbed in the driveway of his home in Budingen in 2018. At the bridge, you can read words of comfort, so that everyone who passes by remembers Jonas. A beautiful path where you can find peace in the stunning landscape.

A small chapel hidden in nature...

Neatly tidied and renovated since my last visit. Sometimes the moisture on the window can obscure Hymelinus from view. Those who are here for the pilgrimage or want to know more can, however, visit Hymelinus' reliquary in the church of Sint-Martens-Vissenaken and, of course, see his image and light a candle, as has been done for centuries.

Idyllic spot with 2 benches and the story of Saint Hymelinus.

A beautiful area of (only) 34.5 hectares, characterized by reed beds, cattail ponds, and pools fringed by shrubs or with open banks... These diverse habitats offer countless bird species places to forage, nest, hibernate, or rest during their migration. No fewer than 212 species have already been observed! (Source: www.natagora.be)

Deciduous forest traversed by the Hornebeek stream. In recent decades, it has dried out considerably, especially during the summer, with the stream also drying up because the Water Group operates a drinking water extraction facility here. This permit is expiring so the stream and wet forest can slowly recover.

Through the Hornebos forest of deciduous trees and shrubs. Nature management here means "leave everything that falls or blows over." The Hornebeek stream accompanies you along the avenue. The first source immediately runs to the left of the road, while the second source emerges 200m from the right, passing under the road, where they continue together.

Very relaxing, beautiful well-maintained paths.
