A route where the landscape takes you, with some imagination, to times gone by. 'Peat extraction'. The many canals are now an excellent breeding ground for birds. Just enjoy the peace and quiet in this piece of bygone history. While musing about the past, we move on to the present.

Vandring

At the end of the 19th century, the Scheldt was straightened at the Kalkense Meersen. The river bend (or meander) was cut off and filled in. By re-excavating the ‘Old Scheldt’, raising the groundwater level, restoring the open water at the Scherenmeersen sub-area and targeted mowing by local farmers, Kalkense Meersen can evolve into a climate buffer.

Vandring

After the old paleomeander – a primeval river from thousands of years ago – withdrew from the landscape, the bed gradually became filled with organic material. This created a meters-thick peat layer, which was mined by local residents as peat: a popular and cheap fuel in times of wood scarcity. The wide ditches and canals in the Scherenmeersen sub-area are remnants of peat extraction from the early 19th century. Today many water birds come here to breed. A great reason to keep your dog on a leash.
