Be sure to bring binoculars, then you can search for and spot the animals much better.

A large shelter, located at the entry point of the De Pomp - Poelberg nature reserve, offers protection in all weather conditions. The two large picnic tables invite you to stop here for a moment. Please note that two short hiking loops start here. The 1.9 km Poelberg path and 3.9 km Galloway path introduce you to the scars from a distant industrial past of the brick industry. There is limited unpaved parking on the street side.
