Tips

Hiking

The Hamelwijer belongs to the Vogelzang Domain. This is the large pond on the southern flank of the Bolderberg, at its south-eastern end. The Hamelvijver is one and a half km long, narrow, often not much wider than 200 meters. The surface area is approximately 30 ha. The sandy road that runs from Kasteel Vogelzang to the hamlet of Bolderberg follows the southern edge of this pond.

Here there is a bench near a large oak tree with a tree chapel from which you have a phenomenal view over the elongated Hamel Pond.
