View of Schulensmeer

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tip for those who love views (don't tell anyone): enter the reception centre and go up the stairs, through the corridor and onto the viewing platform. From up high you see more and relax even more wonderfully.

Schulensbroek GOG Pumping Station

Highlight • Structure

Schulensbroek is located in the valley of the Demer on the border of Halen, Herk-de-Stad and Limmen. The FLA or Flood Controlled Area consists of an inner basin of 150 hectares and a surrounding area of 190 hectares. When the flood plain is filled, several watercourses can no longer drain into the lake. The water from those watercourses is then pumped to the Demer via the pumping station. And the pumping station, which you can view on the edge of the lake, still has functions as you can see in the photos.

Schulensmeer

Highlight • Lake

For centuries, the Schulensbroek was one large natural flood area, which was flooded several times a year. The fertile soil was interesting for farmers. In the mid-1970s, the Schulensmeer was dug: on the one hand for the construction of the E314, and on the other hand as a holding basin to collect excess water. After all, various streams from Flemish Brabant and Limburg come together in this 'Demerdelta'. Source and more information at dewijers.be/nl-schulensmeer

Wooden bridge with large viewing platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

Different from the many platforms you will find here for fishermen. The tree trunk bridge is more for fun since you can also get on it via a piece of boardwalk. Nicely done with the woodwork and just a nice place to relax and gaze at the water.

Boardwalk in the Schulensbroek Nature Reserve

Highlight • Trail

This boardwalk takes you - in the right season - through the most plant-rich stretch of water where numerous flowers and other flora demand your attention, not to mention the fauna. More of an experience path for those who take and have the time.
