로케렌‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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)

Nice addition to the area, but actually a bit too low to view the entire area

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.”

The peace of nature

The redevelopment of the duck decoy is part of the Berlare Broek-Donkmeer nature development project. This project fits in with the vision of the Berlare municipal council to give the popular Donkmeer and its surroundings a contemporary look. The site of the duck decoy was given a thorough makeover. It was redeveloped with respect for the most vulnerable zones and remains open to the public. (Public space database)

13세기부터 스헬더 강은 베테렌, 칼켄, 스헬레벨레 사이를 우아하게 구불구불 흘렀습니다. 1890년경, 배의 항해 경로를 3.5킬로미터 단축하는 지름길이 만들어졌습니다. 오래된 강바닥은 퇴적물로 막혔지만, 2018년에 칼켄세 메르센의 강변 특성을 복원하기 위해 오우데 스헬더 강이 다시 준설되었습니다. 24번 교차로 근처에서 오래된 강 굴곡이 모든 영광 속에 다시 졸졸 흐릅니다. 전망대에서 감상할 수 있습니다. (Routen.be)
