Tips from the Community
The Molenbeek forms part of the northern border of the municipality of Sint-Niklaas with the municipalities of Sint-Gillis-Waas and Stekene. Hydrographically, the Molenbeek belongs to the basin of the Gentse Kanalen. Previously, the Molenbeek originated in the center of Sint-Niklaas, at the site where the Romain De Vidtspark is now located. Nowadays, the stream flows through the entire Sint-Niklaas center from south to north in culverts, to re-emerge on the surface at the edge of Belsele and then flow through Sinaai until it flows into the Stekense Vaart. From that confluence, a path follows the banks of the stream for a considerable distance.

The wooden arch bridge over the Stekense Vaart, named after Frans Coppens, was receiver-clerk in the municipality of Sinaai for almost a quarter of a century. He played an important role in "de Groote Watering van Sinay", the name given to the project launched by the Boerenbond in 1926. This project was initiated after repeated floods and aimed to make the polders 'dry'. The construction of the pumping station near Hondsnest was one of the first achievements within this project. During the Second World War, the unemployed were employed to clean or widen ditches. Under the impetus of dike reeve Jozef "meester" Maes and... receiver-clerk Frans Coppens (!), major reclamation works were carried out in the 60s, continuing into the following decades. Thus, Hondsnest got a new pumping station in 1975. In the meantime, the watering area had been converted into a polder, pursuant to the polder law of June 3, 1957. source: info file "Polder Daknam-Sinaai"

Opened on October 1, 2012, the Brug Ter Beuken provides a safe and green connection to the city center. It has since become a fixed landmark in the landscape: the beautiful red cycle and footbridge that spans the Durme at the end of Vijgenstraat. The bridge is 21m long. Source: axiradio.be
