Description
Zoet Water includes five ponds, a recreation park and walking trails. The valley used to be a marsh, but ponds were dug here in the 17th century. They are separated from each other by dams, but are connected to each other and to the Vaalbeek by means of an overflow system. You can easily find the birds like Lebădă de vară, Corcodel mare, Lișiță, Cormoran mare, Gâscă de vară, Rață moțată, Rață cu cap castaniu and Stârc cenușiu observe closely on the water. Occasional visitors in the past were Călifar roșu and Rață mandarin.
