In this quiet, wide valley of the Great Nete you will find a wide variety of biotopes. A dry sand dune, known as the Kalvarieberg, lies next to a lot of wetlands: ponds and marshes. This not only makes it an attractive area for birds such as bluebirds, kingfishers and ducks of course. Or the tawny owl and sparrowhawk on the higher Kalvarieberg. But also ... For hikers! Put on your sturdy walking shoes (or boots in wet periods) and go exploring. Along the way, stop at the St. Dimpna Chapel and
