Log Bridge Over the Luyden

Highlight • Bridge

Don't expect great challenges for adventurers, but rather a fairly wide wooden bridge. Sturdy wood, a cable to hold you and a metal net under your feet so it doesn't get too slippery.

Beaver Habitat in Kempen~Broek

Highlight • Natural

One of the many places with beaver tracks that you will find in this beaver-rich area. Please note: coypus and muskrats are also found here. Always look to the other side of the path, to the swamp, and to the places where the beavers move. And of course there are tracks in the water and castles here and there. Sometimes there are small bridges, like here (made of steel), but it is better to leave the animals alone.

Beautiful observation hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

I have never seen anything so great in any nature reserve. This observation hut is located in the immediate vicinity of the swamp and is ideal for observing the waterfowl. Inside, a clean hut awaits the hiker. The seats face the lake. You can open small flaps and watch the birds wonderfully. The animals are not disturbed in any way and the hobby ornithologist can take his photos.

In this bird-watching hut with the pretty name "Eisvogel" you can sit comfortably and watch birds. It doesn't matter whether you look at the feathered friends out of a scientific interest or simply to relax, it's just fun.

Many "birders" or "spotters" also report feelings of happiness and a deep connection with mother nature and creation. It may well contain a moment of Zen - just let yourself into it.

The sporty version of bird watching is called "twitching" or spotting. Phoebe Snetsinger was one of the most successful of her peeping styles worldwide. The twitcher was able to observe around 8,400 bird species from 1965 until her death in 1999.

Viewing platform over De Luysen

Highlight • Viewpoint

In summer, the ponds are almost invisible because of the reeds. This bridge/viewpoint offers a beautiful view.

De Luysen - Mariahof

Highlight • Natural

Isn't that just a pond !? Oh, look closely! The nature reserve De Luysen - Mariahof is a true paradise for birds, at least 40 hectares in size. You will find three observation huts here, which are always open during the day and give you enough privacy so that you can watch birds. The pond is fed by the Abeek, the lifeline of the nature reserve, and is known for its numerous water mills.
