Just enjoy the historic polder landscape and the avenue of the future, the Birth Road.
The flutterelm, which forms this birth alley, is a native species that is resistant to Dutch elm disease. The trees were planted for children of Sint-Laureins born in 2015, and will be there for at least another 100 years.
Why a birth drive?
It is almost impossible to see, but the road is actually an old dike that runs right through the more recently created Oostpolder Creek. It is one of the oldest dykes in the polders, around which the surrounding land regularly flooded and oozes in the Middle Ages. As a result, the dike itself started to protrude less and less above land over time.
