Icon description route Description

The pond area of Central Limburg is an impressive nature reserve in De Wijers, located in the heart of the Belgian province of Limburg.

The area is situated south of the E314, east of the Albert Canal, and west of the railway line between Hasselt and Mol. It is the largest pond area in Belgium, with a total area of over 4,000 hectares.

The landscape is very forested and consists of both deciduous and coniferous trees, but also valuable agricultural areas. In addition, it offers a great variety of fauna and flora.

In this area, there are approximately 1,175 ponds, also known as "wijers," with a total water surface area of 700 hectares. One of the most famous hiking areas in this region is the Platwijers near Zonhoven.

Sunday, March 1, 2026 by Eddy & RitaUnfortunately, this route received a low score due to its (former) starting point. The starting point has been changed. As far as we are concerned, this route deserves 5 stars.

Saturday, April 12, 2025 by Hugo Van achterennice route could be a little more unpaved. It is easier to start at the parking lot of Heidestrand campsite.
