A beautiful piece of nature along the Oude Kale, that is the Durmmersen.
A walking loop of 1.3 kilometers leads you through this unique piece of nature.
The three bird viewing walls offer you a nice hiding place to view the numerous water and reed birds undisturbed.

Small and beautiful nature reserve of 11 hectares, managed by the Nature and Forest Agency.
Sand used to be mined here. This sand extraction left behind two wells, which have since grown into valuable ponds. These ponds are a stopping place for numerous water birds, especially in winter and spring. The kingfisher and the tufted duck, among others, breed here. Three bird hides offer you a nice hiding place to watch the birds undisturbed.
This nature reserve developed spontaneously after sand extraction and the raising of large parts of it. The Oude Kale flows at the edge of the area. The Ghent-Bruges canal runs parallel to this stream. On the other side, the area is bordered by the Ringvaart. A 1.3 kilometer hiking trail meanders through the nature reserve. Along the way you will most likely encounter grazers: sheep and ponies.

A "fallen" electricity pylon stands out as a strange element in an otherwise green environment.
The immediate vicinity of that mast was recently felled.
