Bird watching

Belgium is probably not the best country for birding, although there are Belgian Hotspots. You will probably expect flocks of geese grazing the polders, but may be surprised to know that the wooded hillsides in the East of the country can hold Hazel Grouse and Tengmalm’s Owl. The new harbour of Zeebrugge has become one of Belgium’s top-birding sites. The mixture of industry and wastelands is hardly the most attractive backdrop for a birding visit and access is not always easy, but the rewards can be considerable. Pay a visit to the nature reserve of the Zwin too; on migration, it can be very good. In the north of the country, you can visit Blokkersdijk – almost in the middle of the Antwerpen left the harbour. The nearby colonies of the Mediterranean Gull can hold over 400 birds. Also near Antwerpen, you can find the Kalmthoutse Heide, always good for warblers or a Hobby.
Heidebos wandelroute
Heidebos is a beautiful nature and walking area in Wachtebeke and Moerbeke. The visitor is treated in a varied landscape, and behind each turn reveals a fascinating new world. Once, you walk among the moors, and at another time, you are immersed in a forest of birch oaks or you find yourself in the privacy of a pine forest, and then you walk under majestic beech trees. We placed our point on P1 to start our walk from there, a combination of the green, red and yellow loops. In this way, you create a magnificent loop through the moors and the forest in a magnificent natural setting. The autumn sun brought added value to our trip. This forest is a beautiful piece of nature in the north of East Flanders. This hike is highly recommended.
