Kunstbos

Highlight • Forest

Nice nature play forest (entrance immediately left when entering, under the wooden entrance gate). We drove a little too far, to the end of the golf course.

Fort Sint-Joseph

Highlight • Historical Site

The contours of the fort have always remained visible in the landscape and the moat and ramparts were restored around 2008.
Nowadays the area is managed by Staatsbosbeheer, and it is freely accessible.

Spaanse Linies Gravel Path

Highlight • Trail

The gravel path is semi-hardened. The landscape you see here was partly shaped during the Spanish-Dutch struggle in the Eighty Years' War. Note the dikes and elevations in the landscape. These were important during the turbulent war years.

Fort Sint-Jacob

Highlight • Historical Site

The fort and the line dike are still clearly recognizable in the landscape. Restoration work was carried out in 2009, which also included the construction of a new drawbridge and the reconstruction of the courtyard.
The fort is now a nature reserve, managed by Staatsbosbeheer.
It is freely accessible and there are hiking trails.

Sint Nicolaasdijk – Staats-Spaanse Linies

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

Beautiful elevated route across the Staats-Spaanse Linies from Fort Sint Livinus to Fort Sint Jacob and finally Fort Sint Joseph. Route is suited for gravel, MTB and walking. Probably also fine for roadbikes.

Groote Gat

Highlight • Lake

The Groote Gat near Koewacht is a remnant of a creek that reminds of a dike breach in the distant past. The water in the creek is fresh, unlike most creeks in Zeeland that have brackish or even salt water.

De Kleine Kreek is located near the center of Axel. This water is certainly one of the showpieces of our association.

It is possible to fish almost entirely around the creek. The fishing facilities are excellent. You can sit on one of the jetties that were completely renovated a few years ago. The scaffolding is made of plastic and is very durable and non-slip. It is also possible to fish on one of the concrete jetties, which can be reached via Bosplein. Via the Sportlaan you can reach the dike that lies between the Kleine Kreek and the pipeline.
