    Hiking

    In the context of the Sigma Plan, an entire flood area is planned here.
    A paradise for bird watchers and for those who want to relax.

    The Het Zwijn Floodplain is part of the larger Sigmaplan Wal-Zwijn project in Hamme (Moerzeke). This area combines high-quality flood protection with the development of unique tidal nature along the Schelde.
    The Wal-Zwijn project area covers a total of 165 hectares. The actual Zwijn sub-area, together with the Grote Wal and Kleine Wal sub-areas (a connecting green corridor), forms one large controlled floodplain. The total project was officially inaugurated on October 4, 2025, after years of intensive work.
