The Warandevijver pond was built by order of the Duke of Arenberg some 300 years ago. At that time, Meerdaalwoud was the dukes' hunting grounds. A "warande" (warden) often refers to a (closed) hunting area and/or open space where game was kept. It's a lovely picnic bench where I used to picnic with my parents decades ago.

In the middle of the vast marshland of Grootbroek, a wooden lookout tower towers above the landscape. From this quiet spot in the Brabantse Wouden National Park, you have a panoramic view of wet grasslands, reed fields and the surrounding wooded area.

Beautiful pond for a rest break.

You better be quick because in the meantime, in the context of a land consolidation, almost all the nice roads are being paved 😢. You can still respond to the Omgevingsloket from January 22 to February 20, 2025.

The walk is actually the signposted Mene-Jordaan walk. It is better to park the car at the Sint-Ermelindis church. Then walk 200 m to end up in the corner of the forest to the castle. And then back to follow the Mene-Jordaan.

still wild site with many birds

Lake Louvain-la-Neuve was created in 1984 as a fish pond and storm basin to prevent flooding in the lower part of the town and in the valley.

The lake of Louvain-la-Neuve, with a surface area of 7 ha, was dug out in 1984 to serve as a storm basin and fish pond. A footpath with a Finnish track along the lake serves as a walking and leisure route.
