The Vlas Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The steel S-shaped bridge not only connects the towpaths on both sides of the river, but also the nature reserves on the Leie. The name of the bridge refers to the former flax industry in the region. Since the 19th century it has brought a lot of prosperity.

Buda Island

Highlight • Settlement

Between the two branches of the Leie River in Kortrijk lies the lively, hip Buda Island, where you'll find numerous cafés, restaurants, and shops, as well as an entire art center. Not to mention Buda Beach—who needs Bali or the Bahamas?

Our tip: Be sure to cycle across the wave-shaped College Bridge. It's fun!

College Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The wavy college bridge leads you to the island - literally and figuratively. Because between the two arms of the Leie in Kortrijk lies the lively, hip Budo Island, where you will find numerous cafés, bars and shops and an entire art center and thus wonderful breaks from everyday life!
Our tip: Budo Beach - who needs Bali or the Bahamas anymore?

Broel Towers

Highlight • Monument

The Leieborden, i.e. the banks of the Leie, are an oasis par excellence where young and old meet and where you can get to know the locals.
Here you can sit comfortably on one of the terraces and people watch or you can get a coffee to go and sit comfortably on the quay with a view of the beautiful Broeltorens, some of the few remains of the old city fortifications.
