Ghent–Bruges Canal Cycle Path
Highlight • Cycleway
Again and again there were disputes between the cities of Bruges and Ghent, because functioning waterways mean trade. The two economic centers eyed each other suspiciously and enviously, always looking out for their advantage. Who has the better connection? Who might outperform the other city?
However, the canal was not only used for shipping, but also as a line of defense in the 16th century. For this reason about twenty redoubts were erected on the southern dikes. The largest fortress, Fort Sint-Filips, was halfway between Bruges and Ghent.
Today the canal no longer separates, but is an important internal connection and, above all, a picturesque backdrop for your tour.

The cycle path is surrounded by greenery but also runs along residential areas and companies. It is above all a fast and car-free way to cycle to and from the center of Ghent.

Lampistenpark Cycle Path
Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway
The parks have names of railway professions: engineer, lamp operator, conductor, track layer and signalman. The lampist provided lighting for the first trains that ran at night. He had to ensure that the oil lamp at the front did not blow out.
