Meersen... that means marshy land: damp hayfields, rows of pollard willows and old cut-off meanders.

Thanks to the high groundwater level in spring and the winter floods, many special plants flourish here. In the wet hayfields you will find marsh rue, cuckoo flower and sharp buttercup. Around the many old meanders of the Gaverbeek, amphibians and dragonflies find a suitable home all year round. The meadows also exert a great attraction on many meadow birds.

Here you walk through an old railway bed of the Waregem-Ingelmunster line.

Incidentally, the tracks have largely remained and are now considerably overgrown and thus form an ecological gem in the meadow landscape that, among other things, can count the viviparous lizard as a regular guest.

Here and there are gates where you can leave the railway embankment and walk into the meadows, of course following the marked paths to allow the vulnerable nature to thrive.

Beautiful area, but swampy in times of rain. Access roads via gates.
