    Tips

    The famous Graaf-Jansdijk once cut through the landscape here, providing protection against storm surges. For years the area served as a field, until Natuurpunt converted it to grassland. Now a flowery hay meadow is developing around the Vuil Poelke, alternating with a flowery reed land. You will see a gradual transition from moist to very wet zones. Water mint, common campion flower and large rattler grow there. Small landscape elements receive a lot of attention here: around the Vuil Poelke, the natural value of the pollard willows increases year after year. They develop into gnarled old trees, appreciated by all.
    Just enjoy the historic landscape in recovery

      Despite the name, a nice little nature reserve
