This creek connects to the Boerekreek to the west and to the Oudemanskreek to the east. It contains brackish water. The creek lies directly north of the Leopold Canal. Due to silting, the creek could no longer drain, which caused problems for agriculture. Therefore, around 2000, the drainage to the Leopold Canal on the east side was improved, the creek was also dredged, and the banks were reinstated to the nature reserve. (Wikipedia)

In 2018, Natuur en Bos started a large heath restoration project in the Drongengoed (Maldegem/Knesselare). This project will run until 2022 and the second phase of the felling works will start at the end of August. Subsequently, sod work will be carried out from September to the end of November. The focus is on the restoration and strengthening of heathland and the redevelopment of light-rich forest edges. In this way, both the existing forest and heathland become richer in plant and animal species and of higher quality. In addition to the natural value, the amenity value will also increase.

There used to be a hof van plaisance (country house) here, which was depicted in 1755 in the middle of a park, which even contained an amphitheater. In 1894 the castle was rebuilt according to a design by Achille Marchand. The park was laid out in the English landscape style at the end of the 19th century. A pond, an ice cellar with a pavilion above it have been built. There are also bridges, a boathouse and a cave. There are three monumental chestnut trees, including possibly the thickest chestnut tree in Belgium. The castle was built in an eclectic style and made of brick and bluestone. The hall is decorated with sgraffito. In addition to the castle, there is a staff house with stables and a coach house with horse stables. These buildings also date from 1894. (according to Wikipedia)
