The monument is located on the towpath along the Scheldt River, between Wetteren and Schellebelle. The municipality of Wetteren wanted to create a peaceful and tranquil place where residents and passersby could mourn their loss during difficult times like these. The artist Fisheye proudly designed and produced this work. About the artwork: The artwork is based on the abstract form of two people standing side by side, with a significant part missing. This extraction symbolizes precisely that feeling of missing the loved ones we have lost during this pandemic. The use of corten steel, also known as weathering steel, was a deliberate choice, as it evolves over time, just like emotions and memories.

New viewing platform nature point is a tribute to Groene Lieve: “A monument in the nature conservation of the Kalkense Meersen” The platform that looks out 6.5 meters high above the Nature Reserve is also in a symbolic place. “As a young kid I still remember well that Lieve’s red and small Fiat was always parked at this place on the Blokstraat while she was clearing litter, handing out leaflets to hikers and reprimanding farmers. Always busy for nature”, says Peter Claus. The platform is located at a nerve point in the Kalkense Meersen close to the new Roerdompbrug and offers hikers a unique view of the Oude Schelde. That arm was dug out again a few years ago. Since then beavers have been living there again and from the platform you can spot deer and other animals and birds. “It offers a view of the past and the future of our National Park.”
