Border hiking in a broad sense... the Abeek, Lossing and Lozerbroekbeek are your guideline in the landscape. Be surprised in the first part by the beautiful mosaic of swamps and wet marsh forests. The way back is through the nature reserve 'Het Smeetshof'. Here you walk through grazing area to get to the surrounding fields. To end the walk in beauty, you walk along the water features of De Luysen. A paradise for bird watchers and those who love peace. Many viewing walls and huts give you a special insight into the lives of our feathered friends. Bree is great in the broad sense 😘👍

I have never seen anything so great in any nature reserve. This observation hut is located in the immediate vicinity of the swamp and is ideal for observing the waterfowl. Inside, a clean hut awaits the hiker. The seats face the lake. You can open small flaps and watch the birds wonderfully. The animals are not disturbed in any way and the hobby ornithologist can take his photos.
