From the center of Wilsele-Putkapel near Leuven, you can walk to De Gevel Nature Reserve, an old Dyle meander just across the border with Rotselaar. The area was originally called Gever, derived from the Germanic word “gabra,” which means “swamp.” Waterproof footwear is recommended despite the boardwalks. The reed beds and the surrounding wet forests form a rich bird habitat. Regular visitors include the great egret, the golden oriole, and the marsh warbler.
