The Mira Bridge is a bridge over the Durme, on the border of the Belgian municipalities of Hamme and Waasmunster. It was built in the period 1896-1900.
The bridge got its name and fame thanks to the feature film Mira, the 1971 film adaptation of the book De teleurgang van de Waterhoek by Stijn Streuvels by Fons Rademakers, with Willeke van Ammelrooy and Jan Decleir in the leading roles. The script was by Hugo Claus.
The bridge that Streuvels described was not between Hamme and Waasmunster, but was the Vierendeel Bridge that connected Ruien with Avelgem. However, it was dynamited and replaced twice. The current bridge is a much more modern version of the original.
At the beginning of the First World War, the middle section of the bridge was blown up by the local population, in an attempt to stop the Germans and their war material.

Driegoten Ferry and Riverside

Highlight • Rest Area

Name for the hamlet in the east of Hamme near the Scheldt, which here forms the border with the province of Antwerp. Old toponym referring to the three inlets, gutters or holes in the Scheldt bank opposite Weert, between the confluence with the Durme and the border with Moerzeke. On the map of Moerzeke from 1571 by P. Buck and F. Horenbault indicated with "Dry Ghote" as a place with limited development where several roads and dikes converged; the representation of a sailing boat refers to an old landing place with Scheldt ferry. The street used to be partly called Conckeldijkstraat and formed part of the road connection that leads from the municipal centre over the Oostkouter to the ferry of Driegoten. The Driegoten-Weert foot ferry still exists here, now mainly for the purpose of walking and cycling tourism. (Inventory of Immovable Heritage)

Driegoten public parking

Highlight • Parking

Ideal starting point to park your car for a while and explore the area around Driegoten, a crossroads of waterways and country roads in the Scheldeland.
Driegoten, the place where the Durme surrenders to Scaldis.
Driegoten, due to its location a fiercely contested piece of Flemish land and water.
Fortunately, today the only battle that is fought here is between the wind and man.

Durme Marshes

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the left bank of the Scheldt near the mouth of the Durme you will find the unique area 'the Schorren van de Durme'. It is one of the few remnants of freshwater salt marshes that our country still has. Reeds and willows reign supreme, they form impenetrable forests that resemble tropical mangroves. You can admire these salt marshes from the Scheldt dike.
