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 (mustakaulauikku, Lapasorsa) and meadow birds (töyhtöhyyppä, kuovi) can be seen here. A viewing cabin has been built to enjoy these birds in peace. In the surroundings the keltasirkku 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 (mustakaulauikku, Lapasorsa) als weidevogels (töyhtöhyyppä, kuovi) 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 keltasirkku horen zingen. Je kunt een mooie wandeling maken door een afwisselend landschap van water, weilanden en bos.
