Nederlands: De Overasseltse en Hatertse Vennen is een prachtig gebied net ten westen van Nijmegen. De afwisseling van bos, vennetjes en heide maakt het tot een perfect gebied voor een lange wandeling. De bossen worden bevolkt door Ciocănitoare neagră, Ghionoaie verde, Ciocănitoare pestriță mare, Ciocănitoare pestriță mică, Ciocănitoare de stejar, Pițigoi moțat, Muscar negru en Huhurez mic.
Bezoek in het voorjaar en de zomer de verschillende vennen voor watervogels als Corcodel mic, Rață mică, Gâscă de vară, Rață cu cap castaniu en Cârstel de baltă. In de nazomer kun je steltlopers in de modder zien als sommige vennen uitdrogen.
Op de heide broeden Ciocârlie de pădure en Presură galbenă en kun je Șoimul rândunelelor en Viespar boven je hoofd zien vliegen. Sfrâncioc roșiatic broedde in 2019 voor het eerst sinds tientallen jaren in het gebied. In de winter is Sfrâncioc mare op dezelfde plek te vinden.
Het gebied is ook zeer rijk aan libellen en zeldzame insecten zoals wrattenbijter en steppesprinkhaan.
The best place to start your walk is the pakring near the Diervoor Farm. From here different walks can be made. The walk on the map (6,6 km) is marked in the field with yellow marks.
