    Hiking

    Here is a bridge over the Stekense vaart that is used by walkers/cyclists to cross. The F41 also runs over this bridge, connecting Antwerp via Beveren, Sint-Gillis-Waas, Moerbeke-Waas and Wachtebeke with Zelzate. On the old railway embankment, the F41 crosses the Waasland in a straight line.

    Hiking

    The Stekense Vaart or the Stekene Canal (4.6 km) is a canal that connects the Moervaart with Stekene. In the past, the canal extended to Hulst and had an important economic function. Surrounded by quiet areas along both banks, the Stekense Vaart now forms the setting for soft recreation.

    Hiking

    During the Second World War, all bridges in Stekene were blown up by the Germans. In 1945, all five were restored.

    Seven years later, the Stekense Vaart was declared unnavigable. At Aan de Brugstraat, everything was dammed to guarantee pure drinking water for Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. As a result, the canal between Kaaistraat and Tragelstraat, and thus also here at the bridge near Park Zomerhuis, became an open sewer. The canal problem lasted for years, with complaints and symptoms of illness among the local residents.
