Grote and Kleine Kilkreek are an ideal stop for a picnic or to take a rest. These are remnants of soil washed away as a result of medieval storms that broke the dikes. The dikes were restored and the creeks are silent witnesses in the landscape.
Don't forget your binoculars because you can spot many water birds here.

Border post 315

Highlight • Monument

Here, at this location, you are standing at border post 315.
Historical interpretation:
After the separation between the Northern and Southern Netherlands in 1830, the border had to be officially established. Since 1843, there have been 369 cast iron border posts between the three-country point in Vaals and the Zwin in Knokke.

The Gezusterkreken

Highlight • Lake

The Gezusterskreken form a creek system in the north of the East Flemish municipality of Assenede in the Meetjesland (Meetjeslands creek area).
The Gezusterskreeks consist of the Grote Kil and the Kleine Kil, which are in line with each other but are separated by a dam, over which the Gezustersstraat runs. The creeks are located in the Sint-Albertpolder, which was diked in 1612, during which the Scheurhoekdijk was constructed. In 1663 and again in 1690, the Sint-Pieterspolder was diked, causing the Scheurhoekdijk to lose its function as a primary sea defense. The current Belgian-Dutch border here follows the route of the Scheurhoekdijk. The area is European protected as part of the Natura 2000 area 'Polders'

St. Vincent's Church Eeklo

Highlight • Religious Site

First mention of the parish in the second quarter of the 13th century with the visitations of Walter of Marvis, Bishop of Tournai. During the dispute between the bishops of Tournai and Utrecht over a number of churches in the Meetjesland, this parish was definitively placed under the authority of the bishop of Tournai in 1264. Stylistically, the oldest parts of the church, in particular the crossing with eight-sided tower, the transept with stair turret and the core of five bays of the nave, can be situated in this period. They were built in early Flemish Brick Gothic
