Top 20 Lakes around Nevele

The Leeuwenhof domain is not located in the city centre at all, as suggested here, but is located about 5 km west of the historic city centre. It is one of the 3 official access zones to the green pool Vinderhoutse Bossen. In addition to a pond with a seating platform, you will find many valuable grasslands, old trees, an orchard and natural play stimuli here. In the north, the domain connects to the valuable historic forest core of the Vinderhoutse Bossen. You can start here or join one of the 5 walking routes through the green pool. Source: stad.gent

Tip: It might be useful to indicate that this is also a walking path that many people from the surrounding neighborhoods use to walk their dogs, for example. This way, as a walker, you don't run the risk of being run off your socks almost every day by cyclists who come at breakneck speed, but don't feel the need to make themselves known by means of a simple sound, such as the sound of a bicycle bell. This way, a walker can swerve with his dog in time and make way for the cyclist who then doesn't feel the need to stick his shit fingers in the air or call you the dirt on the street. Greetings, Johan aka daily cyclist with sense and empathy, walker with or without a dog, resident of a neighboring neighborhood who thinks that more and more antisocial ex-BMW drivers have now found their bike.

A true hiking paradise. Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen is famous for its rich bird population and is an important bird reserve. While hiking, you can spot various bird species, especially in the winter months, when the area is a refuge for numerous migratory birds. Species that you can encounter include grey herons, ducks, sea eagles and birds of prey such as the hawk and buzzard. In spring and summer, the area is also rich in breeding birds, such as the redstart and the common teal.

The Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen Urban Nature Reserve in Ghent is a vast and water-rich nature reserve, ideal for nature lovers who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. This unique marshland offers a beautiful landscape of grasslands, reed beds and ponds, where numerous water birds breed and forage. With well-maintained hiking trails and viewpoints, it is a wonderful place to walk and spot birds, in the middle of nature.

The pond at Residence Het Leeuwenhof in Ghent offers a serene green oasis in the middle of the city. Surrounded by trees and lawns, the water surface reflects the peaceful character of the surroundings.

Two weeks after my previous visit, the cracked electricity pylon, which can be seen in the photos from that time, was removed. ... more than three months after the accident that caused the mast to break: in the morning of February 22, 2024, a ship with a crane on the Lovaart had hit several high-voltage cables. This mast, here in the Durmeersen, was also dragged away and broke...

A "fallen" electricity pylon stands out as a strange element in an otherwise green environment. The immediate vicinity of that mast was recently felled.

Small and beautiful nature reserve of 11 hectares, managed by the Nature and Forest Agency. Sand used to be mined here. This sand extraction left behind two wells, which have since grown into valuable ponds. These ponds are a stopping place for numerous water birds, especially in winter and spring. The kingfisher and the tufted duck, among others, breed here. Three bird hides offer you a nice hiding place to watch the birds undisturbed. This nature reserve developed spontaneously after sand extraction and the raising of large parts of it. The Oude Kale flows at the edge of the area. The Ghent-Bruges canal runs parallel to this stream. On the other side, the area is bordered by the Ringvaart. A 1.3 kilometer hiking trail meanders through the nature reserve. Along the way you will most likely encounter grazers: sheep and ponies. https://www.natuurenbos.be/natuurgebieden/durmmeresen
