The Valley of the Grote Beek cuts through the Wiestermeers landscape.

More info from Natuurpunt:
The Lower Dender Valley, between Aalst, Lebbeke and Dendermonde, is a beautiful open natural landscape of 850 hectares, where Natuurpunt is committed to improving natural values. The Dender runs like a vein through the nature reserve, where beavers and herons feel very much at home.

All year round freely accessible on the hiking trails. Boots or sturdy walking shoes recommended. Dogs welcome, on a leash.
The walking route From Market to Market (15.3 km) takes you through the areas of Beneden-Dender along the Dender from Aalst to Dendermonde or vice versa. The Vossenwegel route (10 km, start of Denderbelle or Wieze church) leads you through the Wiestermeers, Hannaerden and Bellebroek sub-areas. The Alfons De Cock hiking trail (7.6 km) lets you enjoy the fauna and flora of the Hogedonk and Denderland sub-area. Bellebroek can be explored via the Bellebroekwegel (6,5 km). Hoekskenpad (5.7km) takes you along the most beautiful spots in the Hoekske area. In Mespelare and Hogedonk you may be able to see the beaver on the route of the Mespelwegel (7.2 km).

Natuurpunt has also built a cozy picnic spot in the Wiestermeers, on an old Denderarm where a honey grove was also planted. The Wiestermeers nature trail was also constructed a few years ago. The trail passes through a forest complex that is very old and valuable. The trees and shrubs are the descendants of trees and shrubs that settled after the last ice age, 13,000 years ago. The path offers a view of the right bank of an Oude Dender, rows of pollard willows and passes a castle park and a historic farm.

The Honey Forest

Highlight • Forest

Pupils from the local schools helped with planting the honey forest, setting up a wall of branches and making "bee hotels".

Neerhof 1635

Highlight • Historical Site

Farm called “Neerhof”, formerly Oude Sasbaan 14.
Historical site with moat was already mentioned in 1350 as “nederhof neffens den Bruel”.
The dates on the gate “1653” and on the dormer window “1669” suggest renovation or renovation of the buildings.
Known in 1792 as a brandy distillery and farm. The company buildings reportedly burned down in 1894. In 1912 the house was expanded at the back and in 1943 part of the moat on the street side was filled in.

Miller's Oak

Highlight • Monument

This work of art by Thijs Van der Linden tells the story of the origins of the well-known “Dikke Eik” (fat oak) from the village square in Wieze, which was once planted on the corner of 4 roads to indicate the access road to the now disappeared wooden corn mill. Planting different types of wood in the immediate vicinity of a mill to incorporate them was also common at the time. This oak could therefore have been planted there to be used as the sails of the mill. On the way to this mill there is also a miller’s chapel, which was once erected to pray for a good harvest. At the bottom of this work of art there is a miller’s stone that can also be used as a bench. In this concrete form, oak branches have been worked vertically into it as filling, which will decay over time. A random summer oak has been planted in the centre of this miller’s stone, onto which branches of the “Dikke Eik” will be grafted at a later stage. The tree itself is surrounded by a steel construction in which the miller's chapel and the disappeared mill are depicted. This work is located on a walking path towards the village and therefore the Oude Eik van Wieze from where the story will hopefully be told further by the local population and passers-by.
