Berlare Broek covers the eastern part of the old Scheldt Meander. This nature reserve is partly accessible to the public via all kinds of walking and cycling paths.

This nature reserve was formed because an old meander of the Scheldt was gradually filled with fertile river sediments so that peat was created in this extremely swampy area through further silting. As part of peat extraction, the eastern part of the old Scheldt meander was re-excavated. As a result, it evolved into a large water surface. In 1862 the water was pumped out. However, in the years 1914-1918 the coal pump stopped and the area automatically flooded again. It was finally drained in 1926. The vacated land was forested with willows for basket weaving. After the Second World War, poplars were planted for matchmaking.
