Free VMPA walk around the Fortvlakte in Wijnegem GruunRant connections

De Fortvlakte in Wijnegem has been bought by Agentschap Natuur and Forest. Once there was a fort that was part of the belt of forts around Antwerp. In 1959 it was demolished. A green, open plain was created. The area is colored green on the regional plans", This will continue to develop into an accessible green area. The central part will continue to be grazed by horses, sheep, or cattle. We are going to open up the edge of the Fortvlakte to visitors. Aquafin will also build a buffer basin there. On the other side is the Ertbrugge park, which in turn connects to the Bremweide of the city of Antwerp. With Met de Fortvlakte added, we will have a larger peri-urban nature reserve. Between the green areas lies the Houtlaan, a busy traffic axis. There are plans to build a crossing point there for walkers and animals, a bridge or a tunnel. This way, the pieces of nature will be linked together."
