    Hiking

    a wet nature and experience in Schapenhagen, come and discover it for yourself.
    Waterproof footwear is recommended.

    The landscape you discover here was designed by 'Natuurpunt' and 'Experience Open Space in the Antwerp South Edge'. Along the route you will be introduced to 1.7 hectares of wet nature.
    Canals were restored. A pool with a bird watching wall at the pond invites you to relax for a while. The pond is connected to the Babbelkroonbeek and functions as an additional water buffer in the event of heavy flooding. A real pearl in the South Rand.
    Enjoy it.
