"Wastine" is an old medieval word for wasteland. The Serskamp valley was once such a piece of land, and is now protected for its rich landscape structure. This allows a wide variety of plant and animal species to thrive there.

The viewing platform, strategically located at the intersection of the four municipalities that form the Kalkense Meersen, not only offers stunning views of the green landscape and the old Scheldt arm, but also allows visitors to observe the landscape's evolution over the years. According to Michaël Crapoen of Natuurpunt Scheldeland, the platform is a real asset because it offers the opportunity to experience nature from a different perspective. In addition, numerous recreational cycling and walking routes converge here. (Scheldt Valley National Park)

The Kalkenvaart is a waterway between the village of Kalken and the Scheldt River. It runs through the Kalkense Meersen nature reserve and is very popular with anglers, hikers, and cyclists. A wide cycle and walking path runs alongside the canal. Since its dredging in 2022, the Kalkense Vaart has been very clean. You can cross the canal via the Roerdompbrug (Broedomp Bridge) and/or watch for fish swimming by.

The ferry of Schellebelle is one of the oldest crossings on the Lower Scheldt or Sea Scheldt. The ferry is said to have been created at the beginning of the 13th century after the Scheldt course was changed, cutting off the rural district of Aard from Schellebelle. In 1798, the ferry became the property of the state. (Vzw 't Veer)
