Tree-Lined Path Along the Leopold Canal

Highlight • Trail

Enjoy a stroll on the towpath next to the Leopold Canal, which was dug in 1846 - 1848.
The objective was to connect Zelzate with the North Sea.
Unfortunately, the works have stopped in Boekhoute.
The canal has therefore only fulfilled its function of draining the polder water.

Nowadays you can enjoy the lane that brings peace to the landscape.

Boerekreek

Highlight • Lake

Don't say we haven't worked hard. We present you here the longest and largest stream south of the Westerschelde. It is a casual six kilometers long and, with an area of 38 hectares, is a humid and popular habitat for mallards and white-fronted geese, among others. Buzzards and kestrels hunt on its banks, songbirds whistle, frogs quack and amphibians meander - more or less depending on the season (or not at all in winter).

Is so much nature too stressful for you? Then follow the 9.5 kilometer long yoga path with the meaningful name Mindful Walk. It starts at junction 83 and is particularly popular in winter - because snow yoga is trendy!

Boerekreek

Highlight • Lake

The Boerekreek is the largest creek in the Meetjesland. When it was formed in the sixteenth century, it was called the Grote Geule. Enjoy life around the vast bodies of water.

Bentillekreek

Highlight • Lake

Typical for Sint-Jan-in-Eremo are the five creeks (approx. 65 ha). The creeks are old peat pits, which were created by the exploitation of the bog or peat areas. These pits were increasingly eroded during numerous floods and storm surges. The Bentillekreek is one of the five creeks in Sint-Jan-in-Eremo. It has a very irregular shape and is bordered by the Leopold Canal.

Leopold Canal Foot Ferry

Highlight • Structure

Walk across the water? It doesn't just work on the Sea of Galilee, and you don't have to be Jesus either. A small hand-operated ferry helps here so that you can get to the other side of the bank with dry feet.

However, there is no ferryman to whom you can shout "Hol over". Here you have to do it yourself!
