Next to a lot of international maps, below a map of an exceptional nature reserve at a 10 kms from where I live: the Vinne Lake. It is the only natural lake in Flanders with a long history as can be seen on this old Ferraris map (1777). In 1841 the lake was dried with pumps to use the area for agriculture and later on for tree culture. In 2004 the pumps were stopped and the lake filled again. It is now an area with an extremely rich bird life and many interesting animals and plants. An adapted web app with logo can be found here. A few clicks on the map will show you the area...
