Hiking
Just a fifteen minute walk from Lokeren station you are already in this 20 hectare nature reserve on the left bank of the Durme. It also merges into the spontaneously overgrown Verloren Bos with its remnants of drifting dunes.

De Buylaers is a unique piece of nature within the built-up core of Lokeren, a stone's throw from the city center and close to the station! This 20-hectare nature reserve is located on the left bank of the Durme, opposite the municipal swimming pool and the Sportlaan. The lakes along the Durme have largely retained their historical appearance with few plants in the plain, beautiful moist hay meadows with a number of reed beds next to them. The spontaneously naturalizing Verloren Bos with its drift dune relics is also adjacent to this nature reserve.
