De Fonteintjes are known for their plant richness. Five species of orchids, including the southern marsh orchid, the bee orchid, and the marsh helleborine, bloom there. Other pearls such as adder's-tongue, water horsetail, and the extremely rare pondweed also thrive very well. Especially May and June are ideal to admire the plants🌾🍀🌸. In this small but beautiful nature reserve, it is teeming with butterflies, dragonflies, beetles...🐝🦋🐞 🐝 🐛  In the reed lands of the dunes, the Cetti's warbler, the sedge warbler, the reed warbler, and the marsh warbler sing their song in the spring. Occasionally you also hear the call of the water rail and green frogs complete the choir.🐸🐸 In the spring and autumn, tens of thousands of birds migrate to their breeding or wintering area over De Fonteintjes, which provides a true spectacle. 🐦🦉 🦅 🦆 A unique nature reserve to discover with an experienced guide! 📌 Tips for participants 👕 Dress in layers.
