Cycle path along the Lieve

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It is wonderful to cycle along the water of the Lieve. Along the way you can enjoy the soft rippling water, the wide views and the typical Flemish countryside.

Cycle Path Along the Lieve Canal

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Lieve is the oldest canal in Europe. It was dug in the mid-thirteenth century as a connection between Ghent and Damme, in other words as a connection between the Lys and the Zwin and then straight to the North Sea. Now you can make beautiful bike rides along the forgotten canal

Ponds of Het Leen

Highlight • Lake

It is best to visit Het Leen during workdays because then you have the opportunity to use all paved roads and not just the main axis, where you can actually see little of the beautiful nature. There is also a cafeteria to eat something
