Etangs de Strépy nature reserve

An unexpected treasure… this is the best way to describe the richness of this flora and fauna, which you can explore just a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Land and water-based environments house a multitude of different species and families. And that isn’t all… Meadows and pastureland surround the water, and they too are packed full of plants and animals for you to marvel at. The Etangs de Strépy are one of the most fascinating nature reserves you are likely to find. All the more reason to protect them, all the more reason to visit them to explore and appreciate them. Recognised in the Moniteur Belge on 27-09-89, they really do deserve their title of nature reserve. The site also has a garden of medicinal plants that includes a wide range of listed, indexed plants.
