Upper Geer Nature Reserve

Located in the village of Hollogne-sur-Geer, the Haut-Geer nature reserve is a veritable paradise for birds. Made up of former settling ponds, seven in all, it is one of the most beautiful birdwatching sites in the Walloon Region.

With 34 hectares of managed and protected reserve, where reedbeds, cattail ponds, bush-lined ponds, others with open banks rub shoulders… so many different environments that enable different types of birds to feed, nest, rest on migration or winter.

An observatory has been built for bird lovers, to enable them to observe them without disturbing them.
