The Hobokense Polder owes its name to the former polder area that stretched along the banks of the Scheldt: low-lying land that was regularly flooded and was cultivated by modest farmers. Since the embankments, which were carried out from the 1960s onwards, that area has permanently disappeared. A new landscape has emerged, a landscape that is still constantly changing due to the rapid evolution of flora and fauna.

A nature reserve of 170 ha located between the residential area Polderstad, Petroleum Zuid and the Scheldedijk. Now it is a green oasis in the middle of the suburb of Antwerp. Large Grazers and numerous bird species have their habitat here. Wonderful nature reserve to wander around and discover.
