De Schorre

De Schorre is a provincial recreation area in Boom featuring rolling landscapes with open fields, wooded sections, and water features throughout its grounds. The site includes continuous walking and cycling routes alongside designated spaces for different outdoor activities.

The land transitioned from industrial use to public nature domain in the late 20th century through deliberate restoration efforts. This shift allowed the region to recover natural landscapes while meeting contemporary recreation needs.

De Schorre serves as a gathering place where local residents and visitors experience outdoor leisure together throughout the year. The space reflects how communities use green areas for shared activities and connection with nature.

The area is accessible through multiple entrances with adequate parking at various locations. Visitors should bring appropriate gear depending on weather and chosen activity, as routes traverse different landscape types.

The grounds preserve traces of industrial heritage, with parts of old infrastructure visibly woven into the current landscape. These layers from different eras give visitors insight into how the place has transformed across decades.
