    Tips

    Nice location to hit the pause button and to spot birds.
    Don't forget your binoculars.
    Explanation: Sint Laurense Weihoek is the top area for meadow birds on Walcheren. This unique area is an attraction for a great diversity of birds. Walk or cycle along the area and enjoy all the bird sounds. Because the birds are used to passers-by, they allow themselves to be studied up close. During the breeding season you regularly see chicks of lapwings, redshanks and black-tailed godwits. This oldland area, where clay lies on peat, is originally very low. Moernering (the excavation of peat soaked in salt) and settling by drainage led to further lowering of the area after the Middle Ages. As a result, the meadows have always remained too wet for agriculture. Despite the land consolidation, this area has always remained a wet meadow bird area.

    The nature reserve is very easy to oversee from the small polder roads (Stenen Kruisweg, Ossenbergweg, Buttingseweg and Zandvoortseweg). The Sint Laurense Weihoek itself is not accessible.

      Sint-Laurense Weihoek is the top area for meadow birds on Walcheren.
      This unique area is a magnet for a great diversity of birds. Walk or cycle along the area and enjoy all the bird sounds. Because the birds are used to passers-by, they allow themselves to be studied up close. During the breeding season you regularly see chicks of lapwings, redshanks and black-tailed godwits walking around. This old land area, where clay lies on peat, was originally very low. Moerering (the excavation of salt-soaked peat) and subsidence due to drainage have caused the area to lower further after the Middle Ages. As a result, the meadows have always remained too wet for agriculture. Despite the land consolidation, this area has always remained a wet meadow bird area.

      Sint Laurense Weihoek, as a sub-area of the creek ridges and pool grounds of Walcheren, is part of one of the 40 Geosites of UNESCO Geopark Schelde Delta.

        A very nice stretch of the route that is also a good deal car-free.
