Hiking

You pass here along the western end of the Kieldrechtse Kreek, better known as Grote Geule. It is an old flood channel from the 16th and 17th centuries. It has a steep and soft bank where brackish influences on the vegetation can still be seen. Some peat areas make the area very special. Many birds, such as the bluethroat and reed warbler, also find peace and breeding opportunities there. In winter, you will find many species of ducks and geese there. The area managed by Natuurpunt Waasland-Noord is not freely accessible, only on request. sources: natuurpunt.be and wikipedia
