The provincial nature and environmental education center De Kaaihoeve is hidden in the paradise greenery of the Scheldt valley. Here you will learn everything about the fauna and flora of the region. There is, among other things, a permanent exhibition, a documentation center, a nature garden for children and a bird hide for enthusiasts.

Hiking

The Kaaihoeve is located in an 18th-century farmhouse that originally served as a transshipment point on an old Scheldt branch. Coal and lime were transported here via the Scheldt from Tournai.
