Hiking
The Vinne is located on the territory of the merged municipality of Zoutleeuw, south of the hamlet of Ossenweg, just within the province of Flemish Brabant. To the east of it lies Limburg's Duras, also an anchorage. On the cabinet map of the Ferraris (1770-1778), the area - then still a large lake - was intersected from north to south by the border between the Duchy of Brabant and the Prince-Bishopric of Liège.

Hiking
The Vinne is a natural depression, almost completely enclosed by slopes. Only in one place in the west has the slope been broken and the Vinnedepression is connected to the Gete valley via a narrow outlet. At its widest point the Vinne is 1600 m, at its narrowest point 900 m. Immovable Heritage Inventory 2024: Het Vinne, id.erfgoed.net/erfgoedobjecten/300182

Hiking
Since 1974, the province of (Flemish) Brabant has owned the 120 hectare Vinne. In 2000 it was decided to transform the area into a lake again. Work started in 2004; the poplars were cleared and the groundwater level rose because drainage was largely stopped. The entire area is ideal for migratory birds.
