Doode Bemde, Nature reserve in Oud-Heverlee and Huldenberg, Belgium.
The reserve spans 250 hectares along the Dijle River, containing meadows, wet woodlands, reed beds, ponds, and extensive walking paths.
Established in 1985, the area's name Doode Bemde originates from Dutch, referring to grasslands that were considered unsuitable for agricultural purposes.
Nine kilometers of walking trails allow visitors to explore the diverse landscapes while two observation cabins facilitate bird watching activities.
The reserve maintains dedicated parking areas near access points, and visitors should wear appropriate footwear due to potentially muddy conditions.
Beaver populations have returned to the reserve, creating natural modifications to the landscape and contributing to water management.
