It's truly astonishing what happens to flora and fauna when a flowing body of water becomes stagnant. This ancient meander of the Scheldt River has long since been cut off from the merrily flowing water and is fed by rain and floodwater. This has allowed a floodplain landscape to develop that is home to very special plants and animals.

A beautiful picnic spot has been set up on the Oude Scheldearm. From there you can enjoy a beautiful view of the water.
