Molenkreek

Highlight • Lake

The Molenkreek is the northernmost creek of the Meetjesland, it is located in Sint-Margriete. Despite the long time since there was still a connection with the Western Scheldt, there is still an increased salt content in both the water and the banks. This affects the vegetation. Connoisseurs recognize plants here that also occur in the Zwin, although there is no longer any connection with the sea here. The low water level, at some times, also attracts waders. The Molenkreek was restored to its natural state in 2012 and is managed by Natuurpunt Meetjesland. The area is European protected as part of Natura 2000 area 'Polders'.

Gravel Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A long wide country road with coarse gravel and stones. Not the most comfortable gravel road for a touring bike, but nevertheless a nice alternative to the asphalt roads in the area.

Stop 7 – Reynaert Cycling Route, Sint-Laureins

Highlight • Monument

This is stop 7 of the Reynaert Cycle Route in the municipality of Sint-Laureins, an attractive cycling route revolving around the medieval animal epic "Van Den Vos Reynaerde." The route follows polder roads and creeks, taking you past ten Reynaert statues by Chris Ferket.
Tybeert the tomcat is depicted here, trying to outwit some mice.

Eel Restaurant De Roste Muis

Highlight • Restaurant

A cozy tavern with a nice outdoor terrace overlooking a sea of space, read Oudemanskreek.

Additional explanation: No region is as well-known for eel dishes as the creek area in the Meetjesland. Especially eel 'in the green' or 'in the cream' are typical for the region.
De Roste Muis is one of the well-known eel restaurants in the region. The creeks as remaining witnesses of flooded polders from times gone by housed large populations of eel. For many fishermen it was once a mischievous activity to catch eel with cross nets and to bluff the line fishermen.

Oudemanskreek & Farmer’s Geese (Reynard the Fox)

Highlight • Lake

In the Oudemanskreek you will find the sculpture group by artist Chris Ferket on the water surface, 'When the fox preaches passion, farmer beware of your geese'. Meaning: if a deceiver starts saying pious things, you should be extra careful.
The sculpture group is a playful reference to the epic of Reinaert the Fox.
The artwork was placed following the competition 'A home for a sculpture', which was organised by Radio 2 and IMEWO.
