Description

Nature reserve Beleven was agricultural land only 10 years ago. After nature restoration, 2 ponds appeared that had been slammed 100 years ago. Now the ponds are surrounded by flowery grassland. Birds soon discovered the new habitat. Both waterfowl (Μαυροβουτηχτάρι, (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρόπαπια) and meadow birds ((Ευρωπαϊκή) Καλημάνα, (Ευρασιατική) Τουρλίδα) can be seen here. A viewing cabin has been built to enjoy these birds in peace. In the surroundings the Χρυσοτσίχλονο sings his melancholic song. You can make a nice walk through a diverse landscape of water, meadow and forest.

Nederlands: Natuurgebied Beleven was 10 jaar geleden nog landbouwgrond. Na natuurherstel werden 2 vijvers terug gebracht die 100 jaar geleden waren dichtgegooid. Nu zijn de vijvers omgeven door bloemrijk grasland. Vogels ontdekten deze nieuwe plek al snel. Zowel watervogels (Μαυροβουτηχτάρι, (Ευρασιατική) Χουλιαρόπαπια) als weidevogels ((Ευρωπαϊκή) Καλημάνα, (Ευρασιατική) Τουρλίδα) zijn hier te zien. Er is een kijkhut gebouwd om in alle rust van deze vogels te kunnen genieten. In de omgeving kun je ook de Χρυσοτσίχλονο horen zingen. Je kunt een mooie wandeling maken door een afwisselend landschap van water, weilanden en bos.
