    Hiking

    The pond is a paid fishing spot (the price to fish on the flushed pond is €4 per day). It reaches depths of up to 4 meters and is regularly used for competitions. The flushed pond is primarily populated by carp.
    You can enjoy walks in the surrounding area, including nature walks and/or walks along the Scheldt dike.

    Hiking

    Flushed well in Grootbroek is a Creek or Wiel.
    This drastic disturbance in the landscape took place in 1928 during a storm and spring tide on the Scheldt, resulting in a dike breach.
    Now it is a paradise for anglers.

    The Gespoelde Put in Moerzeke (Hamme) is a historic fishing pond and nature reserve that originated after a catastrophic dike breach. Topographically, the pond is a so-called 'wiel' or 'kreek'. The fishing pond is a so-called wiel or kolk. This is a typical relic of a historical flood. Today, the pond, together with the surrounding polder of the Grootbroek, forms a valuable nature and hiking area managed within the Scheldt Valley.
