Zig and Goort - blue - 3.4 km

In the course of the 20th century, the damp meadows of the Goort were largely planted with poplars. In 2003 and 2004, significant work was done to make this area more attractive for visitors but also for plants and animals. The poplars are making way for oaks, birches, and alders. Paths and bridges ensure better accessibility. Thanks to boardwalks, you can enter nature without wet feet.
Other routes in this walking area lead you along the Zig with 17 hectares of ponds with reed edges and marsh zones. The Zig was once part of a vast marshland along the Belgian-Dutch border. From the birdwatching hide on the edge of the area, you have a chance to discover one of the inhabitants such as the water rail or the bluethroat. But the Zig is also a true paradise for dragonflies such as the emerald dragonfly and the metallic sheen dragonfly.
