The Meeuwven is located just outside Aalst, on the Hutdijk. It is a nutrient-poor lake that depends on rainwater. After a dry summer, it is almost empty. The name has nothing to do with seabirds; rather, it is a corruption of "Nieuwven" (New Marsh) due to the marsh. Before the Napoleonic era, this was the name of the lake. The name may have changed due to a cartographer's misplacement.

Nice place for a walk, in the winter you can ice skate. There are climbing trees for the kids and a nice picnic table. And... near the hut, Mie Pils' hut.
