Tips

Hiking

The Laek Valley is a long reserve with plots along the Laak River. For several years now, a beaver family has been living near the Laak and Vijverbeek rivers. The beaver is a protected species and is of great importance to biodiversity in the Laek Valley. It restores water to the watercourses, thus literally bringing life back to the water.

There was little to be seen of the beaver dam here, or it was very well hidden in the snowy landscape.

Hiking

Here you see a beaver dam. At the bridge of 't Schipke, you'll see a second one. If you look behind you, you'll also see beaver lodges. The beaver also enjoys the former peat pits. And for those who want to learn more about beavers, there's an information board. You'll also find a detailed overview of the nature reserve, with various sections where care is taken for the beaver and the environment. A truly unique and transparent overview. And feel free to sit down, as there's a bench.
