During the start of your walk through the Oranjezon nature reserve, you will come across this canal. This is an attraction for all kinds of waterfowl and insects. The wild Konik horses also drink here, so this is a good place to spot them.

Oranjezon was used as a water catchment area until 1995. The area supplied Middelburg and later Walcheren with drinking water, an open water catchment canal was dug for this purpose.

Near the canal, the water provides some cooling, as do the trees and other vegetation nearby.
