Grootmeers and Kleinmeers are Scheldemeersen that have undergone management works by Natuurpunt in recent years to restore the original marsh character with wetland zones and ponds where various waterbirds feel at home. Unfortunately, there is a strip of 300 meters that is not accessible for dogs, even on a leash. Why not create a pathway 1.5 meters wide so that everyone can pass and enjoy? There are nature reserves that already implement this. After 2.5 km on the route, you will reach a fish pond; the path does not run next to the pond but just in front of it along the barrier. Halfway there is a bench at the Mesureput. Paths along turnstiles or only for walkers and along the towing path allow you to walk the unpaved sections and as an extra, a loop through the Wannelappersbos. Parking is at the side of the town hall, entering via Kruishoutemsesteenweg (gps house number 5) just as you exit the roundabout.
