Orchid walk in 't Droogveld

Guided walk with a nature guide in the 't Droogveld nature reserve in Zellik. In this source area of the Maalbeek, Natuurpunt has been protecting and managing spring forest and hay meadow for more than 30 years. The area is ecologically valuable because it harbors a rich plant, bird, and insect life for the region. Besides many small springs, this moist area consists of old hedgerows with plenty of blackthorn, moist thickets, marsh, spring forest, and hay meadow where the heath spotted orchids are beautifully in bloom in June. During the walk, we will put our hundreds of orchids in the spotlight, and you will learn everything about the mysterious life of these beautiful plants. The result of year after year of sustained nature management. Meeting point at the church square at the Saint Bavo Church in Zellik on Sunday, June 7 at 2:00 PM. Participation is free, but please register in advance. This way, we can also keep you informed of any last-minute changes.
