Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

The Kleine Kragewiel, which is located just behind the dike, was created during a dike breach in 1552. A persistent storm made a breach in the Spierenbroek. This breach flooded the underlying polders from Branst to Eikevliet. For example, you can still find several 'wheels' in the landscape of Bornem.
According to legend, the storm died down after the procession with a statue of the Virgin Mary and the breach could only be closed after 5 years. The rising water had free play in the landscape all those years. The large water features 'fish ponds' in the spacious surroundings of Bornem are still silent witnesses of dike breaks.
Perhaps that's why the towpath attracts so many 'cycling' tourists…
At the Kleine Kragewiel there is a picnic bench that invites you to linger.
Swimming is prohibited. Enjoy life on and around the water.
