The Kalkense Meersen is a vast nature reserve in East Flanders, located between the municipalities of Wetteren, Berlare, Laarne and Wichelen. The area covers approximately one thousand hectares and consists of grasslands, ditches, mudflats, salt marshes and ponds. The Meersen are known for their rich biodiversity and provide a habitat for numerous native animal species, including foxes, deer and stoats. In addition, it is a paradise for bird watchers, with more than 170 bird species spotted. The area is ideal for nature lovers and hikers who want to enjoy peace and beautiful landscapes.
