Zig and Goort - yellow - 6,8 km

You will come across the monument of the propeller blade from the Second World War. The Zig is a very attractive area with 17 ha of ponds with reed edges and marsh zones. It was once part of an extensive marshland along the Belgian-Dutch border. From the bird hide at the edge of the area, you have the chance to spot one of the residents, such as the water rail or bluethroat. But the Zig is also a true paradise for dragonflies like the emerald damselfly and the brilliant emerald damselfly.

Other routes of this hiking area lead you through the Goort. During the 20th century, the wet meadows of the Goort were largely planted with poplars. In 2003 and 2004, significant works were carried out to make this area more attractive for visitors as well as for plants and animals. The poplars are being replaced by oaks, birches, and alders. Paths and bridges provide better accessibility. Thanks to boardwalks, you can venture into nature without wet feet.
