Things to see and do Vleteren

Along the road from Ypres to Ieper, the hamlet of Ronehoek is the doorway of the Blankaart nature reserve. The Étang pond results from the action of man, which divide the ground in order to extract the peat to heat itself. The estate starts from the road by the castle park, pretty brick building and white stone. The park goes down to the water first identified by the trees, soon hemmed with a reed thickness. It includes cendrés herons, pourprés herons and tundra ducks that go through the winter. With a little luck you will see the busard of the reeds diving in the roselière to capture a prey. Unfortunately, this magnificent reserve is threatened by heavy water border.
