The land of 1001 ponds

Description

This walk is just a small part of the 450 km of hiking trails of the new Hiking Network De Wijers.

We started at the large parking area opposite Camping Heidestrand in Zwanenstraat in Zonhoven. On this parking lot, there is an information board with the junction points, but you can also choose one of the routes indicated by a colored symbol.

As the title already suggests, you mainly walk along and between the numerous ponds that make this area so beautiful. You hear and see all kinds of (water)birds. A paradise for both hikers and avid birdwatchers. We came across two bird watching huts along the way. From the lookout tower near junction 84, you have a fantastic view over the wide surroundings on a clear day.
