Nature development and conservation in and around the Laarse Beek are central to the Schotens
nature policy. Part of the valley of the Laarse Beek is a European Habitats Directive area
protected due to the presence of the bullhead, a rare species of fish. Around the
To enable migration of these fish, a number of barriers were removed. There were
fish ladders have been constructed to allow the fish to bridge the height differences in the stream step by step. The bed of the Laarse Beek has a remarkable orange color. This one is completely natural and is due to the presence of iron in the soil.

The Laarse brook originates in Brecht and flows via Brasschaat and Schoten to Antwerp. There it flows into the Groot Schijn watercourse.

The valley area of the Laarse Beek is a 'peri-urban' area because it forms the transition between an urban and a rural landscape. You will encounter many paved surfaces, buildings and infrastructure, but also beautiful green spaces such as the Peerdsbos, Park Vordenstein, the Park of Brasschaat, the Inslag, etc. These green zones form a real oasis of peace for many residents and visitors. Many visitors come to this area from the city.
