Description
To protect the area from flooding, part of the Kalkense Meersen was returned to the Scheldt. This created a controlled flood area where large grazers stand with their feet in the water once every 50 years. The rest of the time it is a wonderful walk among dunes and heathland.
TheGalloways of the Kalkense Meersen walking routeis offered to you byRouten, an initiative of Tourism East Flanders.

Thursday, October 12, 2023 by Dirk Van EsbroeckSurprisingly beautiful nature hike! No Galloways spotted in October but enjoyed the changing scenery. The ferry and a nice pancake on a terrace on the Scheldt were two added pluses.

Wednesday, August 25, 2021 by Sven SunaertWhat a beautiful peaceful nature walk this is !?!! Thoroughly enjoyed it as well as the delicious ice cream and drink afterwards. The use of the spring was a nice extra that could have lasted a little longer from us. Highly recommended for hiking!

Wednesday, May 27, 2020 by R.V.Always nice to start your hike with a ferry (in Schellebelle).
And then (as usual) a clearly marked route. Beautiful nature, sometimes a bit boring on a dike, but the end at the cattle, made up for a lot. It is a pity that in these Corona times one cannot go somewhere for a drink, because it does look cosy there. Let's come back again.
