Den Dotter

Den Dotter is a 205 hectare nature reserve in the sub-municipalities of Aaigem (municipality Erpe-Mere) and Heldergem (municipality Haaltert) in the East Flemish Denderstreek. It's a swampy, almost uninhabited area, with the central brook (beek) Molenbeek-Ter Erpenbeek, named for its numerous mills (molens). The management is primarily engaged in harvesting and replanting of trees, provide good drainage and mowing lawns with the ubiquitous marsh marigold. Marsh marigold means dotterbloem (bloem meaning flower) in Dutch and so Den Dotter is derived from the word dotterbloem.
