View of the Gentbrugse Meersen

Highlight • Viewpoint

For centuries, the Gentbrugse Meersen, like the Heirnis, were a large meadow area that was flooded every winter by the Scheldt water. The deposition of fertile river silt made these grounds ideal grazing pastures for cattle. Today this nature reserve is characterized by a rich fauna and flora, accommodations for both large and small as well as for "harvest goods". Harvest Goods is a CSA self-harvest farm. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, farming that is done together in the community where members can buy a share of the crop at the beginning of the year. In exchange, you can harvest the vegetables, fruit and herbs yourself all year round. They also let the cows of the organic farm "De Zwaluw" graze freely in the area of the Gentbrugse Meersen and with the milk "Oogstgoed" later makes delicious farm ice cream. So you could conclude that this organization is a commons, just like the Heirnis, which was located on the other bank of the Scheldt.

Scheldt Riverside Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Cycling along the Scheldt is a real pleasure. With the power at your side, everything is just a little smoother. With the wind in your back you zoom along the good asphalt path.

Gravensteen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Sometime in the 11th century, a wooden structure was replaced by a stone predecessor of the gravestone. The construction work on the current Castle of the Counts began in 1180 under the impulse of Count Philip of Alsace. His successors, the counts of Flanders, stayed here regularly until the middle of the 15th century. Later, the mighty castle also served as a meeting place for the council of Flanders, as a court and as a cotton mill. Weapons and instruments of torture are on display in the castle.
