In the southwestern part of Zonhoven we find the nature reserve de Platwijers along the Hasselt-Mol railway line. The area is about 100 ha.
The Platwijers consist mainly of landscaped fish ponds and meadows. The supply of water enriched with countless fertilizers has not done the rich flora any good. After all, we are getting an increasing growth of vegetation.
However, this reserve is best known for its great bird diversity. Numerous species find a suitable plastering and breeding site here. Most of the indoor paths are therefore closed to the public because otherwise the birds would be disturbed too much.
