Decoy house and landmark tree
Highlight • Historical Site
The giant poplar at this cooking house served as a beacon in the landscape: this way, approaching ducks could recognize this place from far away. Experts estimate the age of this tree at around 160 years.

't Weiken
Highlight • Cafe
In the meantime, however, allergy sufferers can also sit down safely, because 't Weiken has long been an avant-garde summer bar with beach chairs and umbrellas. You can have a drink with a view of the lake, satisfy your hunger with pancakes, ice cream or croque, or bring your own picnic.
Next to the terrace there is a large playground for the little ones.
Very close to 't Weiken you will find a real butterfly paradise: the beautiful flowers and plants have been selected to attract butterflies and bees. These beautiful and useful animals find food and shelter here. And you'll find these poetic insects here. Come and enjoy the splendor of the colors!
