Descrizione

The Polders of Kruibeke constitute an extensive natural and floodplain area located in the municipality of Kruibeke, Belgium. Covering a whopping 600 hectares, it stands as the largest floodplain area in Belgium. The Polders of Kruibeke serve as a true haven of natural beauty. Here, one can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and recharge amidst forests, meadows, mudflats, salt marshes, and creeks. This vast area hosts six hundred hectares of pristine nature, providing a paradise for mammals, birds, bees, trees, herbs, and flowers. Walkers and cyclists can revel in the tranquility and scenic views while breathing in fresh air. Feel free to take a pit stop on one of the benches and listen to the harmonious chorus of whistling, buzzing, and rustling around you. Strategically integrated into the government’s ingenious Sigma Plan, the Polders of Kruibeke aim to protect inhabited areas from flooding. The area is designed to balance flood control with safety and nature conservation. During high water events, the sluices of the overflow dike open, creating spectacular waterfalls—a mesmerizing sight as vast quantities of water surge toward the nature reserve. Moreover, visitors can enjoy a sprawling graffiti artwork by SuptilOne, inspired by a song from the local hip-hop band Krutown. It’s an epic experience in a unique environment!
