View of the Scheldt at Meiresluis

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's always nice to gaze at the bustling economy from this tranquil vantage point. Take your time and enjoy the movement of the Scheldt.

Meiressluis

Highlight • Structure

A lock for controlled reduced tides. Created by Prof. Dr. Patrick Meire, full professor at the University of Antwerp and an expert in the field of ecosystem management.
On the other side "waterfalls" that enter the polder and the lock itself is decorated with beautiful art graffiti (see also Wissekerke castle)

Old Ferry

Highlight • Monument

The ferry services across the Scheldt have traditionally been important for employment in the region. Many people from Kruibeke travelled through the polder to the ferry every day to work at the shipyards on the other side of the Scheldt. The old ferry in Kruibeke was destroyed during the Second World War. A new ferry service was established a little further on.

Cosmogolem Kruibeke

Highlight • Monument

Several CosmoGolems are already spread all over the world. With the one in Kruibeke, Koen Vanmechelen is ready for his 34th copy, and also the largest. The age-old story of the Golem is a symbol of universal children's rights and diversity. That is why a class from each Kruibek school attended the inauguration in May 2014. All children made something on paper and all those wishes and dreams were put into the wooden giant, with the help of the fire brigade. The children also decorated the wooden colossus and afterwards all received a speculoos in the form of the CosmoGolem.

't Kortbroek Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

The shorts: departing along the (unpaved) Scheldedijk we continue our way along a path back inland, see the turrets of the Altena van Kruibeke castle and then straight through this water-rich area, along platform paths and a bird-watching wall, back to our starting point. Along the way there are numerous benches with a beautiful view of the ponds where you can take a break. Don't forget your binoculars because you can spot a lot of birds here!
