Zig and Goort - red - 9.6 km

You will come across the monument of the propeller blade from World War II. The Zig is a very attractive area with 17 hectares of ponds with reed edges and marsh zones. It was once part of a vast wetland area along the Belgian-Dutch border. From the birdwatching hut at the edge of the area, you have a chance to discover one of the inhabitants such as the water rail or the bluethroat. But it is also a true paradise for dragonflies like the emerald damselfly and the metallic green dragonfly. Other routes of this walking area lead you through the Goort. Throughout the 20th century, the moist 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 as well as for plants and animals. The poplars are making way for oaks, birches, and alders. Paths and bridges provide better accessibility. Thanks to duckboards, you can venture into nature without wet feet.
