Running

This trail leads you through the Bourgoyen urban nature reserve, a beautiful piece of nature with forests and ponds in a calm setting. The nature reserve is very close to the city center and is the largest green lung in the vicinity.

You can also easily combine the 5.5 km running route into a longer course along the Watersportbaan or Blaarmeersen. You can always walk smoothly on the unpaved gravel paths so that you do not need special trail run shoes here.

You often run into other runners here, good for a portion of extra motivation! If you come during the week, you often have this piece of nature to yourself. The area is not only popular with walkers and runners. Bird lovers also come here to spot special species.

Bird Hide Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen

Highlight • Structure

The Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen is best known for the large numbers of waterfowl. These birds find their home in the flooded grasslands. The area is therefore not only very popular with runners and walkers, bird watchers are also frequent visitors.
