Municipality takes strict measures to avoid influx of skaters on heathland

Plenty of sunshine is forecast this weekend. Combined with last week's freezing temperatures, many people will want to descend to the Kalmthoutse Heide to skate. The municipality wants to avoid that at all costs. While the ice is thick enough for some skating, it can only support a maximum number of people. Especially at the edge of the fens, the risk of wet feet is particularly high. Anyone who entered Stappersven earlier this week experienced this first-hand. Besides, there are still the corona rules in force. In recent days, the ice lured more and more skating fans. Therefore, to avoid an overrun during the weekend, several measures are being taken.
