For centuries, the Schulensbroek was one large natural flood area, which was flooded several times a year. The fertile soil was interesting for farmers. In the mid-1970s, the Schulensmeer was dug: on the one hand for the construction of the E314, and on the other hand as a holding basin to collect excess water. After all, various streams from Flemish Brabant and Limburg come together in this 'Demerdelta'. Source and more information at dewijers.be/nl-schulensmeer

The Schulensmeer is located in the west of the Belgian province of Limburg, in the valley of the Demer on the territory of Herk-de-Stad and Lummen. It is named after the church village of Schulen, which lies on the road between Hasselt and Diest.

The beautiful grasslands of the surrounding Schulensbroek not only have an irresistible attraction for meadow and water birds, but also for hikers who enjoy endless tranquility and natural beauty.
