Hiking

“The swallow lift is a 6-metre-high mast with artificial housing at the top,” says Robin Van Heghe of Regionaal Landschap. “It is a lift especially for the house martin. Roof overhangs have been placed at the top, with artificial nests, on which they can make their own mud nest. The location at the Vaartplein is ideal, because the swallows can find enough insects above the damp grasslands in the Kalkense Meersen.”

This swallow house was installed in 2021 by the Regional Landscape Scheldt-Durme and is the largest in East Flanders.
Hopefully we will have a nice colony within a few years

A shelter where swallows feel at home. Enjoy the playful swallows in the spacious area on summer evenings. Sometimes it seems like they are playing tag with each other.
