Tips
The Creek of Lombardsijde is a spacious inlet of the Yser west of Lombardsijde and north of the marina Novus Portus. It was created by closing off the former channel with a dike, the Halve Maandijk. De Kreek is part of the Yzermonding nature reserve.
At low tide, the inlet is dry except for a deep water-filled gully. This deep channel is a remnant of the former northern channel, the Ebgat. At high tide, the inlet is completely submerged.
Historical photos show that the shape of the Creek and its banks have hardly changed in the last hundred years.translated by
