Access
There is a spacious parking lot, click on the P in the map to get directions. You can also explore the area by bike, but on foot is more interesting. On the map you can see the walk 'Doorheen Het Leen' ('Through Het Leen'). This walk of 6 km shows you the most beautiful places and and is marked with purple arrows. The route does not pass the bird hide, so to visit the bird hide you have to make a little detour (see the map).
