투르네‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 호수

The Taintignies-Willemau water buffer basin ("Zone d'Immersion Temporaire" or "ZIT") was created in the middle of agricultural land to capture excess water from the fields, preventing it from reaching residential areas and causing flooding. The entire area is designed as a beautiful experience zone. While the boardwalks invite you to cross the water, that's clearly not the intention: a very clear prohibition sign is posted (at least during my visit, on frosty days). The dikes and grasslands are managed by sheep. In the long term, this area will undoubtedly develop into a fascinating habitat for (water) birds.

Enjoy a wonderful time by the water 🥰🥰🥰

The Péronnes-Antoing marina, located on the Grand Large of Péronnes in Wallonia, is an unmissable nautical site. This vast 45 hectare body of water, developed in the 1960s, serves to regulate the level between the canal and the Scheldt. The port offers 157 mooring rings for boats, as well as modern facilities such as a harbor master's office and a Club House. It is also a popular location for water sports and leisure activities.

The Avelgem Scheldemeersen is now a combination of grassland, cultivated land and a diked Scheldt, but that used to be different. The Scheldt lakes were probably covered with shrubs after the last ice age. The Scheldt had not yet been diked, which meant that the valley regularly flooded. This created a lake biotope, especially in winter. Sand was piled up on the southern edge of the valley, on which the village centers of Escanaffles and Ruien later emerged. The northern edge, where Avelgem is located, was created after clay was deposited in curved soils or "meersen". The northern and southern valley edges in the Avelgem Scheldemeersen are almost the only places within the valley where habitation is present. When the Scheldt was straightened for the last time last century, several 'coupures' or cut-off arms were created with stagnant or weakly flowing water. The 'Coupure Deweer' is a wonderful example of this. In the still water of the meander, fish, plants and other organisms maintain a delicate balance. You will also find the Nature House (NEC) of Natuurpunt Avelgem there.
