    Hiking

    Originally, pools were used to meet a specific need of people, for example as a cattle watering place or fish pond.
    Now pools are especially vital for many plants and animals.
    Here you can spot the brown and green frog, ice skater, kingfisher, yellow iris and the small newt.

    Hiking

    Natuurpunt has a nice piece here with two pools, the first of which has a wooden viewing platform above the water's edge, an information board tells about the importance of pools and the animals that live there (hopefully back) and a picnic bench invites you to a moment of peace or something then.

    Hiking

    Can be educational in summer but unfortunately flood area of the Mombeek in winter. Not passable for walkers. Boardwalks would have been appropriate here.
