Former notary's house in Kalken.

A V1 crashed here in Kalken during World War II. This monument commemorates this tragic event, in which two children lost their lives. A piece of wreckage from the aircraft is displayed on the monument.

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.

Controlled flood area ... is an area next to the river that can absorb large amounts of water at high water levels. For this purpose, we are building a ring dike inland that protects the region. Along the river is a lower, reinforced overflow dike, over which water can flow into the area without damaging the dike. Locks in the overflow dike allow the water to flow back to the river when the water level of the Scheldt has dropped sufficiently. We have designed the area within the dikes as wetlands full of diversity. (Sigma plan)

Beautiful nature varied easy

A bridge provides a connection between two banks. Usually a bridge is over water: a ditch, a canal, moat, river, lake, ravine, ...

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