Baardwijkse Overlaat, Nature reserve in Waalwijk, Netherlands.
The Baardwijkse Overlaat spans between Drunen and Waalwijk, containing forests, farmlands, and the deep water body called Nieuwe Wiel within its boundaries.
Created in 1766 to manage water from the Meuse River during floods, the area underwent significant changes including the removal of farms between Baardwijk and Drunen.
The Vereniging Natuurmonumenten organization maintains this ecological space since 1978, preserving its natural heritage for future generations to experience and study.
Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails, with coordinates 51.67573 latitude and 5.11045 longitude, offering opportunities for walking and birdwatching activities.
The Nieuwe Wiel, formed by an 18th-century dike breach, remains as a permanent water feature within the reserve, marking a physical testament to historical water management.
