Het Vinne

Het Vinne extends over 100 hectares, featuring wetlands, forests, meadows, and the largest natural inland lake in Flanders.

The lake formed at the end of the last ice age when a bowl-shaped depression filled with water due to climatic changes.

The domain offers educational programs and guided tours focusing on environmental preservation and local wildlife observation throughout the year.

Four marked walking trails ranging from 1.7 to 4.9 kilometers provide access to different sections of the natural reserve.

The site was transformed from agricultural land back to its original lake state in 2004, creating an essential habitat for diverse bird species.
