Tips

Dominiek Van Dooren

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.

Trudging through the city's polder - Polder City Hoboken
The Hobokense Polder is one of the most beautiful green spots in Antwerp. The perfect place to immerse yourself in nature for a few hours and escape the hustle and bustle of life.
In the varied landscape of polders, swamps and shrubs you will always come across Galloway cows...
A decking path helps you bridge wet strips. Frogs and salamanders frolic in the water. A heron stands motionless among the reeds… ready for a snack.

You can spot rare birds at the bird watching walls at the lakes. This is a moment for you and what is happening in your field of vision. A beautiful setting with so much to discover, is colored differently every season. The main characters also change sometimes.
In short, a place where you can spontaneously relax.
An unknown pearl in the southern edge of Antwerp is highly recommended to discover.
Various hiking trails, ranging from 1 to 7.5 km, take you through a special landscape. Wearing waterproof footwear is recommended.
A tip for romantic souls: everything looks even more beautiful at sunset…
The Scheldt dike is always recommended to end.
