Green Pool

Highlight • Lake

Definitely worth a visit. A place with a history. Silent witnesses to several dike breaches.
Wielen are ponds where you can spot all kinds of plants and animals. The many "wielen" in Bornem are silent witnesses to powerful dike breaches during major floods. They formed when the old dikes could no longer withstand the force of the Scheldt waters.
The village of Nattehaasdonk was completely swallowed by a storm surge in 1825. The Huveneersheuvel archaeological site and the information board at the Wintam Sea Lock, "Fort Sint-Margriet," provide a wealth of information about this distant past.
Now, the Groene Wiel, or Nattenhaasdonk lake, is a prime spot for recreational anglers.
Enjoy life on and around the Wiel.

d'Ursel Provincial Park

Highlight • Castle

Around the castle lies a domain that, together with the Hingenebroekpolder and Schellandpolder, once measured around 300 hectares. The park around the castle is around 40 hectares and is connected to the polders that are part of the Bornem silence area via the Notelaerdreef. In the park you will find yourself in an oasis of peace. The domain is open to the public and is eagerly visited by walkers and joggers.

A very interesting walking environment along De Vliet. You can rest for a while on the lock. A footpath runs along both sides of De Vliet.
