The Paardeweide in Berlare is a vast nature reserve along the Scheldt River, part of the Sigma Plan and managed by the non-profit organization Durme. Once a polder with pastures and fields, it has been transformed into a dynamic landscape of wet grasslands, reed beds, open water, and alder swamp forests.
As a flood control area (GOG), Paardeweide temporarily captures Scheldt water during high water levels, which not only contributes to water safety but also creates a rich habitat for birds, fish, amphibians, and plants.

Winding towpath on the outer dike from which you get a good overview of the reed atoll, also known as the Zwin van Berlare. Via a path through Paardeweide you can take a look at the fish ladder.
