    The platform, built by Natuurpunt and supported by local organisations such as the Wetteren cycling club 2ManyBikers and vzw Hofmakers, is five metres high and 3.5 metres wide, and made from sustainable European hardwood.

    The area not only has ecological value, but also serves as a natural buffer against flooding, a crucial aspect emphasised by the recent flooding in the Denderstreek. The viewing platform offers visitors the opportunity to view from above how nature restoration works, mainly carried out as part of the Sigma Plan, have transformed and improved the area to better protect Flanders against flooding from the Scheldt and its tributaries.
