Ouden Doel

Groot Saeftinghe Border Park.

From the hamlet of Prosperdorp you walk to the ring dike at Prosperpolder Noord. You follow the ring dike along the project area of the Hedwige-Prosper project, which is in full development. Here everything is being prepared to welcome the mudflats and salt marshes of the new tidal area. The area within the dike, good for 465 hectares, will be depoldered and will connect the Paardenschor near Ouden Doel with the Verdronken Land van Saeftinghe. This creates a unique tidal area of more than 4000 hectares.
You pass the hamlet of Ouden Doel and arrive at the radar tower Ouden Doel. The lookout on the first floor is freely accessible via an iron staircase and offers a panoramic view of the harbor, the Scheldt and the surrounding nature. You are now going over the Scheldt dike where you will see the nature reserve Doelpolder Noord and Brakke Kreek on the right. When you leave the dike you walk next to this nature reserve. A high dike separates the walking path from the newly constructed meadow bird areas, but on the way you come across two viewing screens so that you can observe many meadow birds. At the hamlet of Rapenburg you follow the Zoetenberm, an old cobbled road on the dike to the edge of Prosperpolder South. You follow the edge of this nature reserve to Prosperdorp. Here you make a small detour along the Prosper farm. The manor farm with mill is protected as a monument and is being converted into a welcome gate for the area.
