The Enfants Noyés Nature Reserve is a nature reserve consisting of three large ponds located in a valley of the Sonian Forest in Brussels. The nature reserve consists of three distinct ponds: The Étang du Fer à Cheval , the Étang des Canards Sauvages and the Étang du Clos des Chênes .
The Réserve naturelle des Enfants Noyés is French for the Nature Reserve of the Drowned Children, but it owes its name to a mistake. A mill was once installed on the edge of the pond. It belonged to a certain Verdroncken . His children inherited it and got into the habit of calling it The mill of the Verdroncken children , until one day when a bad translation turned Kinderen Verdroncken into Verdronken Kinderen, which literally means drowned children.
