Be sure to bring binoculars, then you can search for and spot the animals much better.

A large shelter, located at the entry point of the De Pomp - Poelberg nature reserve, offers protection in all weather conditions. The two large picnic tables invite you to stop here for a moment. Please note that two short hiking loops start here. The 1.9 km Poelberg path and 3.9 km Galloway path introduce you to the scars from a distant industrial past of the brick industry. There is limited unpaved parking on the street side.

In De Pomp-Poelberg you can clearly see the traces of an industrial past. Over the course of the 20th century, almost the entire landscape was literally overhauled for the brick industry. The two large clay pits filled with water still bear witness to the hard work that was done here. The 1.9 km 'Poelbergpad' walking loop or the 3.7 km Galloway path invite you to discover the nature reserve.
