ヘレンタルスの湖・トップ20

水の質の良さは生物多様性に不可欠です。そのため、栄養豊富な土壌層を耕さないことが重要です。そうしないと水が濁り、藻類などの特定の植物が繁茂します。藻類は夜間に多くの酸素を消費するため、池の生き物にとって困難な状況になります。この特別な生息地を保護するため、通りすがりの人は水を邪魔しないようにしてください。 (現地の案内板より)

Many captivating stories have been written about this well (not just any well). The first probably dates back to 1571, when Lieske Coolbonders committed suicide by drowning herself in the well while the devil himself was pursuing her. Lieske was the illegitimate daughter of Katrien Coolbonders, who was raped by a Spanish nobleman. The nobleman was murdered by Katrien's husband. The body was first dumped in the Devil's Well. Later, it was buried somewhere nearby. (Efkesweg.be)

Fun to spin the wheel here and listen to the story around this mysterious pool...

Het Zwart Water is a nature reserve southwest of the town of Lichtaart, which is part of the Antwerp municipality of Kasterlee, located near Lavendelweg 1-3. The area is managed by the Agency for Nature and Forests. The area is located on the Kempense Heuvelrug and consists of a fen that used to be in a drifting sand and heathland area, but was largely forested with conifers during the 19th century. On the edge of the fen you will find bog myrtle thickets, willow swamp forest and poor grassland. There is a floating dome in the fen that forms a safe resting place for birds. The forest is gradually being transformed into more mixed forest. In addition, there are remnants of heathland.

With its 16 hectares, De Duivelskuil is a rather small but very varied nature reserve. It treats you to a characteristic Kempen landscape. In addition to dry heathland and wet heathland, you will also find some beautiful fens and a piece of bog bog. A moist alder-birch forest and a dry oak-birch forest and also a lot of Scots pine.

In Snepkensvijver-Heiberg in Herentals, swamp, heathland and forest go hand in hand. The soil conditions provide typical vegetation such as peat moss, heath, small sundew, cranberry and peat fluff. The fragrant gale is also found en masse. In the drier areas, shrub heather is ubiquitous. Discover rare plant species here and completely relax.

The first probably dates back to 1571 when Lieske Coolbonders committed suicide by drowning herself in a well when the devil himself chased her. Lieske was the bastard daughter of Katrien Coolbonders who was raped by a Spanish nobleman. The nobleman was murdered by Katrien's husband. The body was first dumped in the Devil's Well. Later it was buried somewhere near it. In 1695, a man from Reusel was said to have been hanged on a gallows on the Hoge Mouw and later buried in the Duivelskuil.
