Beautiful and quiet forest (if in high season). The hiking trails are almost in order, sometimes it can be a bit muddy during heavy rain. If you are lucky you might spot some deer 😊

Be sure to come and meet Erica when she is in bloom. The landscape is then colored purple. Rest benches invite you to press the pause button.

This area has seen its share of wars. It could hardly be otherwise, for a forest that dates back to the 13th century. The War of the Spanish Succession still rears its head here and there. Here you will find remains of the Line that served in 1701. (Information board on site) One of the paths in the bid is therefore called "Liniedreef". This runs along the canal "De Linie".

In the 19th century, coniferous forests were planted on a large scale in the Stropersbos. That wood was needed to firmly support the tunnels of the coal mines. But in terms of natural value it did not amount to much. That is why the coniferous forest was thinned and cut down over the years. Young heathland appeared again, with bushes and shrubs. Highly appreciated by field crickets and woodlarks. Grazers ensure that the young heath does not reforest. (Information board on site)

History about the spacious surroundings of this highlight. Discover the traces in the landscape. Explanation: Fort Bedmar was built in 1701 by order of the marquis of the same name, in a strategic location at the intersection of the Clingedijk and the Koningsdijk. The quadrangular fort was one of the most important fortifications of the Bedmar Line. It is striking that these new forts were much larger than their predecessors, because the range of the artillery had increased considerably. Today there is a campsite on the site of the fort. However, if you look closely, you will still see many remains. The gentle slope of the campsite is nothing more than the glacis, the raised firing zone in front of the fort. The plot layout of the campsite suggests the shape of the former fort. A large part of the inner moat has been preserved behind the laurel hedge. On the access roads to the campsite, cobblestone strips mark the fort moats and a section in Corten steel shows the structure and height of Fort Bedmar.

A path to find peace and leave all your twists and turns behind in the Moervaart. The Moervaart connects the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal and the Durme. The canal has little economic significance today and is only used by pleasure craft. The towpath next to the winding Moervaart will make you dream away. Don't forget to pay attention to the Lokerse Moervaartmeersen. These meadows are a paradise for water birds.
