therefore ideal for bird lovers.
In the spring you see that many beautiful birds like bluethroat, reed singers, waterfalls, summer teals choose the Mechels Broek to expand their families. In the fall, osprey and harriers stay a bit to rest from the great appetite they undertake. Winter is again ideal for seeing large groups of ducks. Because Mechels Broek is close to Planckendael, where there is a stork project, you can sometimes find entire groups of storks here.
Families with children can visit the visitor center all year round for a fun treasure hunt in the Mechels Broek. With the youngest you can go out with the Boebboekje bag (5 to 10 years), slightly larger boys and girls can learn to read compass with the compass tour. Or place ten photos along the hiking trail in the correct order with the photo search.
