Observation Tower De Wulp

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lookout tower is approximately 30 meters high and offers a beautiful panoramic view of the De Wulp nature reserve and the surrounding area. The De Wulp nature reserve is an important breeding area for various bird species and the tower gives visitors the opportunity to observe these birds in their natural habitat. We had a nice view of a heron.

Hageven Birdwatching Hut

Highlight • Structure

The hut is built on the edge of a large pond, surrounded by reed fields and forests. This provides an ideal habitat for many water birds, such as ducks, geese and grebes. In addition, it is also possible to see birds of prey, such as the buzzard and sparrowhawk, and other bird species. But you will have to choose: bird watching or walking 😉

There is no boardwalk here at all (anymore?). You walk past a fen.

Nice wooden footbridge, a real suspension bridge, nice to take pictures or just to stop and enjoy.
