Groote or Old Sint-Albertpolder
Highlight • Historical Site
Historical interpretation:
The Groote or Oude Sint-Albertpolder is a polder north of Sas van Gent, belonging to the Polders of Albert and Isabella, in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
In 1610, Archduke Albertus of Austria granted permission to dike the salt marshes in the Assenede district. The polder was completed in 1612 and was named after the archduke. Later the prefix Sint- was added.
It was one of the first polders to be parceled out according to a rectangular plan.
When the border between Staats-Vlaanderen and the Southern Netherlands was established in 1664, 483 hectares were located in Staats-Vlaanderen and 480 hectares in the Southern Netherlands.
In 1808, the northern part of the polder was flooded, causing the loss of 20 hectares of the Dutch part. Today that is 463 hectares.

View of De Gezusterkreken
Highlight • Viewpoint
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'

Hollandersgatkreek
Highlight • Lake
The Hollandersgatkreek is an extension of the Blokkreek and is separated from it by a dam. The creek is a remnant of the Hollandersgat that emerged after the All Saints Flood of 1570 and the subsequent inundations by the Geuzen.
The Hollandersgatkreek is connected to the Kruiskreek, which is located on Dutch territory and is connected to the Passageule via a complicated creek system.
The area is European protected as part of the Natura 2000 area 'Polders'
