PLEASE NOTE, THIS RIDE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE DURING OR AFTER HEAVY RAIN. THE SMALL TRACK ALONG THE GEER FROM LENS-SAINT-REMY TO HOLLOGNE-SUR-GEER MAY BE INACCESSIBLE.

Formed from old settling ponds, this location is a small paradise for the birds of Hesbaye and one of the most beautiful bird-watching sites in Wallonia. A few kilometres from here is the fascinating world of insects that you can discover at the Jean Leclercq Insectarium (Hexapoda).
