Eglegem lake

This pool was created when the E19 motorway was constructed. Since then, the lake, also known as Hombeek Pit, after the nearby village of Hombeek, has become a paradise for birds. Come and spot tufted ducks, coots, black-headed gulls and more. You may also find other signs of life along the bank. After all, a beaver family has taken up residence. It is lovely to walk in this beautiful green-blue zone, and during the summer months, you can also relax here in beach bar ‘t Zomerdok at the sailing club.
