Ekeren, Northern district in Antwerp, Belgium
The district of Ekeren extends across the northern part of Antwerp municipality, containing three distinct neighborhoods: Sint-Mariaburg, Donk, and Leugenberg.

The district maintains free bicycle parking facilities at multiple locations, including Driehoekstraat and Antwerpsesteenweg, with rental services available at train platforms.
The Oude Landen natural sanctuary spans one square kilometer near the district border, presenting a collection of plant and animal species.
