  • 5/5 C. C. 3 years ago on Google • 211 reviews
    Beautiful piece of wild nature. It is a real find, as you would not expect it so close to the city. The polder has a vastness of 170 ha. You can choose to follow several walking trails that in all are about 9 km long. The ground is fairly easy to walk on, but do wear good shoes, as it can be slippery in some places. The most surprising part are the animals that walk freely over the terrain. This is also a great place to walk your dog. The parking spots are limited, but there's enough space in the adjacent streets. The nature reserve is open 24/7.

    Looved this place. Saw it on the map and kept postponing visiting it, once I got there I kind of regrettee going, but as I went deeper it got better. We even saw the cows. But the best view was yet to come. The schelde river was amazing. Good place to relax and for a light hike. Still haven't seen all of it though. Cannot wait to go back

    Nice park in the south of Antwerp (maybe 20min from the city center). Nice lake in the middle with a dedicated space to take some nice pictures of the different birds. Be careful the ground might be really muddy so better check the weather forecast.

    Great place to walk, even with a dog, or to do some sport. Close to the city yet it's very peaceful.

    Very nice to walk, routes well indicated. There are areas with cows grazing so they can be in the way, fun. There are a couple of ponds where it's easy to spot birds and mosquitoes.

    One of the few areas in the Antwerp region where you can still get an impression of original non planned nature

  • 4/5 Michael F. 5 years ago on Google
    Interesting piece of nature close to Antwerp. Created with the sand they dug up when creating the highway around Antwerp. The first plan was to build houses there, but later when policy changed they decide to keep it as a nature park. We went there in winter so there was nobody around (it was raining as well), but we had a good experience

  • 4/5 Wouter Van H. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice it just has 2 draw backs ... 1 it really should be bigger. 2 because of the industry around it you can almost not escape the busy city. But it is beautiful and good maintained.

  • 5/5 Shirley T. 5 years ago on Google
    Very clean and smart. Food very good. Staff polite. Plenty of car parking area.

  • 4/5 Jeroen T. 5 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Tibor G. 5 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Braim T. 6 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) All nature in a city like Antwerp is worth the full 5 stars. Sometimes heads run, especially at the Great Bittern (viewing hut). Lovely lakes, birds, walks and galloway cows. Little (or often no) waste to be found. In short, a beautiful polder that colors the industrial landscape around beautiful greenery. Thanks to everyone who maintains the area so beautifully 🙏🏻 (Original) Alle natuur in een stad als Antwerpen is de volle 5 sterren waard. Soms koppen lopen, vooral dan aan de Roerdomp (kijkhut). Mooie plassen, vogels, wandelingen en galloway koeien. Weinig (tot vaak geen) afval te vinden. Kortom, mooie polder die het industriële landschap rondom mooi groen inkleurt. Dank aan al wie het gebied zo mooi onderhoudt 🙏🏻

  • 3/5 Anke W. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Large and green, especially for Antwerp. The part on the Scheldt is nice. The rest was actually disappointing, especially compared to other nature point hikes. Perhaps also because of the large groups (!) Of people present today. Also a lot of area overgrown with blackberry bushes, otherwise not much to see in winter. Doable with the buggy. (Original) Groot en groen, zeker voor Antwerpen. Het stuk aan de Schelde is wel leuk. De rest was eigenlijk teleurstellend, zeker in vergelijking met andere natuurpunt wandelingen. Misschien ook door de grote groepen (!) volk er vandaag aanwezig. Ook veel gebied overwoekerd door braambesstruiken, voor de rest in de winter niet veel te zien. Wel goed te doen met de buggy.
