Cycling along the Moervaart is a must. It is usually fairly quiet and nature always offers surprising images.

Anyone who cycles along the Moervaart or visits the provincial domain Puyenbroeck will be amazed by the vast landscape. With views over the polders, vast ponds and neat rows of trees. The Moervaart valley is a beautiful open space area that stretches from Stekene to Ghent.

The Moervaart, a southern branch of the Durme, was straightened in 1531 and provided with several bridges. Moervaart, Zuidlede (already straightened in 1379) and other waterways in the Moervaart Depression were important, among other things, for the transport of peat and firewood to Ghent. The exploitation of the peat and peat soils was one of the main economic activities in Moerbeke in the Middle Ages.
