The Cruijslandse Kreken form a unique system. They date from after the Sint-Elizabethflood in 1421. After embankment in 1487, the influence of ebb and flow came to an end. In over 500 years, hardly anything has changed in the area. In the 17th and 18th centuries, however, Cruijslandse Kreken formed part of the inundation area of the West Brabant Water Line. The area was flooded several times back then to stop enemies. Nowadays, it is possible to row and canoe on parts of the creek system and there are several beautiful spots for fishing. The entire creek system contains very valuable banks for flora and fauna. Many reed birds can be found here, such as the reed warbler, the reed bunting and the reed warbler,
