Welcome to the nature trail 'Window on the Junior Landscape'. This 2.5 km walk has been tailor-made for families with young children (6 to 12 years old). With this booklet, discover the beautiful exploration trail near De Helix, a Flemish centre of knowledge and training for nature and the environment. Follow messages with orange triangles. At each stop you will find a number and an arrow on the pole: the numbers correspond to the numbers of the available walking book and the arrows indicate the direction. The complete hiking route can also be found on the information panel in front of the farm and in the available walking booklet. Each stop is accompanied by information, an assignment or a game. Look at the number on the pole and look for the same number in the booklet. In the middle is an assignment sheet that you can fill out for assignments that have a pencil in the booklet. If you drop down the answer sheet after your walk in De Helix, you have a chance to win a nice prize. We wish you a fascinating journey!!!
