Tips
A bench and with a bit of patience you can enjoy the ‘neap tide’ or ‘still water’ at this location. The neap tide refers to the short period of twenty minutes when the tide turns. From ebb to flood or vice versa, there is almost no current at that moment. Tough men used to try to swim across the Scheldt. ‘Stille waters’ therefore refers to neap tide, but even more to things that should not be known, secrets that are better kept secret.
A successful Flemish series was also named after ‘Stille Waters’ in 2001.
If waiting for the neap tide takes too long, enjoy the wheels in the hinterland in the meantime. These bodies of water were created by a dike breach in 1552.translated by
