Description

The Melkader is a silent witness to an old estuary of the Scheldt. Due to the force of the tide, it penetrated deep into the salt marshes and into the reclaimed polders. It served as a drainage channel for the polders and as a waterway for shipping peat and, later, sugar beets. This creek was also the site of the Parma Canal: the canal that Alexander Farnese had dug in the 16th century to connect Fort Sint-Marie with Ghent. Today, the Melkader is only a canalized creek remnant. It connects to the green belt around Kallo.
