Springtime in the Polders: Birds & Beavers

Shake off the last of the winter blues and join us for a vibrant spring walk through the beautiful Polders van Kruibeke on April 19th!

With the season in full swing, we’ll enjoy a refreshing 2 hour loop through the largest flood area in Flanders. Expect wide-open green views, the soundtrack of returning songbirds, and the chance to spot some local wildlife enjoying the spring growth.

We’ll keep a steady but conversational pace — ideal for soaking up the sun and clearing your head.

The walk follows paved paths, but also includes some dirt roads, so be sure to wear appropriate footwear. (It might rain on Saturday, so it could still be a bit wet on Sunday...)

If all goes well, we can have a drink at the end of our walk, at the yacht club. (it might be a bit tricky to grab a drink for such a large group: bring some water and snacks just in case...) And, for those going back to Antwerp Steenplein, well, there are tons of bars over there!

### The Commute: Catch the Waterbus ⛴️

For a scenic start to the afternoon, we recommend taking the Waterbus from Antwerp:

• Departure Point: Steenplein (Antwerp City Center).
• Departure Time: the boat leaves at 1:30PM sharp. (6euro return ticket, no cash!)
• The Experience: enjoy a breezy 17-minute ride down the river Scheldt. It’s the perfect way to see the Antwerp skyline before we dive into the greenery of Kruibeke.

(alternatively, you can arrive by bus 93, or via the ferry Hoboken-Kruibeke)
