    It’s very beautiful place which u can bicycle “door het water” and also hike in that very quite place. You ll be alone with the silence of nature. Parking place for cars are available at the entrance. There is also a cafe that u can rest, snack or drink.

    One of the best places to see in Hasselt. We were lucky on that day because it was a very sunny weekend on the first days of fall season. The place is serene. We took a bike from Hasselt train station and went to the area. Lots of people visiting but if you just stay and relax, there are some moments when the place is almost empty. Ducks, geese, swans, wild birds can be seen from time to time.

    Suggestive crossing in the middle of water inside a lovely park full of pedestrian and bicycle paths that go in every direction. Very relaxing place.

    Lovely place to bicycle. We rented ours not far away from this spot, bicycled around the area (around 4km), picniced near the lakes then bicycles towards genk for beer and ice cream. Very nice day and the cycling through the water had a very lovely touch! A family of ducks and a swan were hanging around too!

    (Translated by Google) Unusual place, huge and paying car park (5 €). Very nice walk. Tip, by going there on Sunday, you can park in the small parking lot at the station for free. But will have to walk a little more (25min walk from the station to the fietspad) (Original) Lieu peu commun, parking immense et payant (5€). Très belle promenade. Astuce, en y allant le dimanche, on peut se garer au petit parking de la gare gratuitement. Mais faudra marcher un peu plus (25min à pied de la gare au fietspad)

    Excellent area for bike rides. You can mix routes going next to lakes, along the canals, through forests, through a natural reservation either on asphalt or on rougher terrain. Plenty of opportunities for great pictures.

    Great spot, nice to stop and take pictures but please don't feed the ducks, what a shame for people to try and take nice pictures and have all the ducks of the pond gone because someone is throwing bread it really dampend my experience. As they have a lot of different kinds of ducks.

    (Translated by Google) Fine, super, and certainly with the swans that attack the visitors. A great event. Beautiful natural environment. It is a pity that some visitors stay in the trench to make selfies and impede the passage. (Original) Fijn, super ,en zeker met de zwanen die de bezoekers aanvallen. Een leuke gebeurtenis.

  • 2/5 Andrew C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nothing special. Be more amazing if the water flowed over the edges like a waterfall and drained underneath.

  • 5/5 Dinos C. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place. Very relaxing scenery. A place that must seen if one is in Belgium.

  • 5/5 Aneta Neykova-the World's c. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to visit and to walk in the nature. Now after the lockdown there are few places where you can buy coffee, snacks, smoothies. I live visiting this place.

  • 5/5 Daria N. 3 years ago on Google
    Interesting experience. You are very close to the nature. Be careful with swans 🦢, they are quite demanding for food.

  • 2/5 philippe g. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's pretty. It is also overrated, it is 2 concrete walls in the middle of a pond. It's made for bicycles, but there are so many pedestrians that you can hardly get past them while riding. And they won't make any effort to let you through. In the midst of the covid period, no control in place to verify the presence of masks. (Original) C'est joli. C'est aussi surfait, ce sont 2 murs de beton au milieu d'un etang. C'est fait pour les velos, mais il y a tellement de pietons qu'on arrive a peine à y passer en roulant. Et ils ne feront aucun effort pour vous laisser passer. En pleine periode covid, aucun controle en place pour verifier la présence de masques.

    (Translated by Google) Nov 2020: Go for a walk here. An attraction and certainly worthwhile to walk or cycle along / through. In Corona times it was "pedestrian and cyclist direction only". But in normal times you can go through it in either direction. (Original) Nov 2020: Hier gaan wandelen. Een trekpleister en zeker de moeite om eens langs/door te lopen of te fietsen. In Corona-tijden was het "enkel richting voor voetgangers en fietsers". Maar in normale tijden kan je in beide richtingen erdoor.

  • 5/5 Toon H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is certainly nice to see it. Personally, I do not think it is worth repeating. You get very close to the animals that live there.

  • 5/5 Jose Miguel M. 3 years ago on Google

There are very well marked trails to be able to move around without problem. You have seats to rest or to enjoy the peace and tranquility that only nature can give you. If you are going to spend a lot of time bring your own food or you can have a picnic. This place definitely have the highest rating. (Original) Es un lugar realmente hermoso. Naturaleza en su máximo esplendor. Principalmente mucha variedad de aves e insectos. Hay senderos muy bien señalizados para poder movilizarse sin problema.

    Nice place for a walk or a bike ride. Like it

  • 5/5 Bastian A. 2 years ago on Google
    If you like biking and the nature this is your place, there’s not much things around the park so my advice here would be to pack food in the bag and do a picnic enjoying the views, it was really awesome and chill.

  • 1/5 Burning P. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to see how people are destroying the world with this underwater bridge, I would definitely recommend just walking in the woods nearby instead, looks way nicer there.

    Beautiful place to walk, paths are clearly marked but it's still easy to get turned around if you are not paying attention. There are information signs around the park explaining the nature conservation efforts.

  • 5/5 Adam O. 1 year ago on Google
    Large car park, makes easy to visit if not cycling locally, cost 5 euro for car park, lots of cycle trails around the forest and a unique experience going though the water at head height, kids and adults enjoyed even if the path through water is quite short

  • 5/5 Frank la M. 1 year ago on Google
    Get up close with lots of water birds, not just ducks and swans! Lovely setting and extremely well connected!

  • 4/5 Krishanu D. 1 year ago on Google
    A pretty unique experience even if you are not actually biking through the path that's below the water level. It's quite amusing to see the ducks swimming around. There are plenty of walking and biking paths. I would imagine that it pretty gets busy when the sun is shining. There is a big parking lot if you are traveling by car, parking fee is 5 eur for the day.
