De Kalkense Meersen is a nature reserve between Kalken, Overmere, Uitbergen, Schellebelle and Wetteren.
As one of the largest remnants of the Scheldemeersen, it forms a low-lying humid area in the former flood plain of the Scheldt. An old Scheldt arm, which was cut off when the Scheldt was straightened, also runs through the area.
The areas were too wet to qualify as building land. Peat was mined here until the 19th century. This created pools that attract birds. It is an extension of the Kastermeersen (Wetteren), Broekmeers (Kalken), Springels (Wetteren), Wijmeers (controlled flood area Uitbergen), Molenmeers (Kalken), Scherenmeersen (Overmere) and Belham (on the Bellebeek - Den Aard).
