Railway Bridge over the Leie

Highlight • Bridge

10.4 km

Vissersdijk cycle path along the Southern Leie

Highlight • Cycleway

Paved cycle path along the Southern Leie, near the Blaarmeersen. The path connects to the Griendijk path and thus forms a connection between the Watersportbaan and the railway bridge.

The path is part of the cycle route on the route of the former Westerringspoor. Once the bicycle bridge over the Watersportbaan is in place, you can cycle unhindered between the Muide and the Sint-Pieters station.

Start of the coupure, the canal with a cycling streets next to it. From here you can start your journey to bruges along the water if you can stomach the 45km trip.

Historic Centre of Ghent

Highlight • Historical Site

Ghent grew out of Celtic settlements in the area where the Leie and Scheldt rivers converge. In the Middle Ages, Ghent grew into one of the largest and most important cities in Europe thanks to the flourishing cloth trade. The flax and linen trade and the staple rights acquired by the city on grain also contributed significantly to the city's prosperity. After a short Calvinist period, the city gradually declined until it flourished again towards the end of the 18th century, when it became one of the first industrialized cities on the European mainland.

Kouter

Highlight • Monument

One of the hearts of Ghent beats here. Especially on Sundays during the flower market, the motto here is: see and be seen.

Even if you're not into florals, you should still come for a stroll. In a corner of the kouter you will find a blue kiosk. This monument, which has been converted into an aperitif bar, provides gourmets with a glass of cava, fresh oysters and other culinary delights from 11 a.m.

The originally hexagonal newspaper kiosk has stood at this location since 1885. At that time there were 38 kiosks spread across the city center of Ghent. This kiosk was the only one left and has been living its second life as an open-air bar since 1990.
