Hiking
The Haut-Geer reserve is a small paradise for the birds of Hesbaye. Formed from old settling basins of the Râperie de Hollogne, it constitutes one of the most beautiful observation sites in the Walloon Region (according to Natagora).
PS: The râperie is a factory in which beets are grated to extract the juice, then intended for the manufacture of sugar (according to Wikipedia)

Hiking
A beautiful area of (only) 34.5 hectares, characterized by reed beds, cattail ponds, and pools fringed by shrubs or with open banks... These diverse habitats offer countless bird species places to forage, nest, hibernate, or rest during their migration. No fewer than 212 species have already been observed!

Located not far from Waremme and surrounded by intensive monocultures poor in biodiversity, the Haut-Geer reserve is a small paradise for the birds of Hesbaye. Made up of former settling basins, it is one of the most beautiful observation sites in the Walloon Region.
