Explore the Fonteintjes

De Fonteintjes are mainly known for their plant richness. Five types of orchids, including the southern marsh orchid, the bee orchid, and the marsh helleborine, come to bloom there. Other pearls such as adder's-tongue, whorled Solomon's seal, and the extremely rare bog pondweed also thrive there very well. Especially May and June are ideal to admire the plants. In the reed lands of the dunes, Cetti's warbler, sedge warbler, 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 completing 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. The bittern comes there every winter to brave the cold. A unique nature reserve to discover with an experienced guide! 📌 Tips for participants 👕 Dress in layers.
