Uitkijktoren "De Klot"

De Maatjes nature reserve is a cross-border marsh reed landscape. Largely in the municipality of Zundert and further in the Belgian municipalities of Wuustwezel and Kalmthout. Near the point where the three municipalities meet, a 7 meter high watchtower has been built, from which you can look out over the surrounding area. The name 'de Klot' refers to a lump, a clod of peat or peat. Between the 1250s and 1750s peat was mined here on an almost industrial scale. The peat was transported to Roosendaal, Bergen-op-Zoom, Antwerp, ... From the lookout tower you can still see peat relics in the landscape.
