The Sint-Trudoleken forms the confluence of a number of streams, including the Bergbeek, which originates on the higher grounds of Oedelem. Due to its low location and the inflow of a number of streams, the Meersen area was naturally a wet and swampy meadow area. Over the years, efforts have been made to make the area more suitable for agricultural use.
In 1937, the polder council constructed an artificial drainage system. The Hoofdsloot was dug as the main axis. It flows into the Ghent-Bruges canal through a drainage station. The Sint-Trudoledeken was diked and only ensures the passage of the water from Ryckevelde and Oedelem. It discharges its water into the Zuidervaartje and no longer absorbs water from the Meersen area.

World War II bunker

Highlight • Monument

This bunker from World War II was renamed a bat roost by the Nature and Forests Agency. In winter the bats can safely hibernate there and in summer they also find a home there. The fact that a lookout point has been set up on top of the bunker does not disturb the bats.
