Old Railway Line Hulst–Sint-Niklaas

Highlight • Cycleway

This Dutch part of the cycling and walking path on the railway bed of the old railway line 54 Mechelen - Terneuzen runs to a bend in Hulst, south of the Buitenvest and east of the Stationsplein. It is not paved everywhere, but very passable.

Dodendraad Border Crossing Monument

Highlight • Monument

The Wire, also called Dead Wire or Death Gate, was a 332-kilometre long wire barrier built by the German occupiers of Belgium along the border between occupied Belgium and the neutral Netherlands during World War I. In German documents the barrier was officially referred to as Grenzhochspannungshindernis. The barrier was under deadly electrical voltage and was supposed to prevent war volunteers and German deserters from fleeing Belgium. The fencing was also intended to prevent espionage messages from occupied territory from reaching Allied espionage services via the Netherlands and to stop smuggling. The Wire is estimated to have killed many hundreds of people, but could not prevent thousands of people from crossing the border in various ways. After the war, the death gate was quickly demolished.

Great Saleghem Channel

Highlight • River

The creek area of Kieldrecht and Meerdonk extends between the villages of Kieldrecht-Nieuw Namen in the north, to the border of the sandy region of Sint-Gillis-Waas, Vrasene in the south and De Klinge in the west. Due to heavy flooding, the creek area was first transformed into a coastal plain and later re-diked under the influence of humans. Due to military inundations at the end of the 16th century, the area again came under the influence of the tides for a long time. The complex flood history has left traces in the landscape. There are various creek patterns and dike breaches with wheels. The creek area is a puzzle of gullies, canals, canals, wider basins, wheels, puddles and puddles.

Reynaert the Fox

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful surroundings, also for cycling. If you go back a bit on the Groenendijkstraat, you have a picnic table under the trees and you have a very nice view of the Grote Saleghemgeul.
