Tips

Dominiek Van Dooren

March 26, 2025

The two nature reserves, Grootmeers and Kleinmeers, are located along the Scheldt. Grootmeers is approximately 19 ha in size. Kleinmeers is close to the Asper lock and is a relatively small area.
The area is freely accessible to walkers from sunrise to sunset.
Boots are often necessary in wet periods.
In winter, when the water level is high, the path through the Grootmeers (even with boots) is often difficult to walk.
Dogs (even those not on a leash) are not allowed, partly because of the free-roaming grazers.
Make sure you do not walk between the cows or get too close to the calves.

These lakes were buried with silt during the widening and deepening of the Scheldt.
In the northern part, 1 hectare was excavated to the original level. This is now a swamp zone, with rich vegetation.
The 4 hectare Kleinmeers is located a little further north (downstream).
