Donkmeer, Protected lake in Berlare, Belgium

Donkmeer extends across 86 hectares of water surface with multiple small islands and reaches a maximum length of 1.57 kilometers.

The lake's status as a protected monument reflects its long-standing importance in the East Flanders region of Belgium.

The bronze sculpture De Turfsteker, created by Michel Peleman in 1995, stands near the lake as a representation of local heritage.

Visitors can rent boats and water bikes to explore the lake, while multiple paths around the water allow for walking and cycling.

A fountain marks the northern section of the lake, which contains several restaurants specializing in traditional eel preparations.
