Hiking
Heidemeersen is a combination of historical place names such as 'Cleyne Heye', 'Groote Heye', 'Vrauwmeersch' and 'Scheldemeersen'. The Scheldt formed two important landscapes here. The river deposited sand dunes, where heather grew luxuriantly. In addition, the Scheldt flooded into the lakes or grasslands adjacent to it. At high water levels, when it rains a lot, the lakes collect the excess Scheldt water and protect the villages from flooding.
