The Steenzwaan is a remnant of a once very lively river.
The Zwemer used to be a channel between the Oosterschelde and the Gouwe (the Gouwe was the river that separated Schouwen and Duiveland).
The Gouwe silted up and was poldered and the Zwemer was dammed and disappeared.
Only Steenzwaan remained.
The Steenzwaan is still a lively river. Salt seepage still comes from the soil and the nearby grasslands still offer salt vegetation.
Salicornia, sea aster, milkweed and numerous other salt lovers grow right in the middle of the arable land!
