Hiking
Scots pines were planted on the former heathland, which are now gradually making way for native trees and shrubs such as oak, birch, rowan, sporke wood, etc. The rest of the site has been heavily excavated during the search for clay. Two large pits were left like scars in the landscape, filling with water. The largest and deepest well is now used as fishing water, the smaller shallower well has a natural function. Grebes now breed here and rare plants such as empty bladderwort and floating rushes grow.

In De Pomp-Poelberg you can clearly see the traces of an industrial past. Over the course of the 20th century, almost the entire landscape was literally overhauled for the brick industry. The two large clay pits filled with water still bear witness to the hard work that was done here.
The 1.9 km 'Poelbergpad' walking loop or the 3.7 km Galloway path invite you to discover the nature reserve.

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.
