Gentbrugse Meersen Wetlands

Highlight • Natural

The Gentbrugse Meersen is a 270 hectare open area southeast of Ghent. Natuurpunt and the City of Ghent are working together on a nature core with space for play nature. It is located between the built-up areas of Gentbrugge and the wide Scheldt bend that marks the beginning of the Zeeschelde. Together with the Damvallei in Destelbergen, the area forms a large green spot of 650 hectares near Ghent.

Towpath Along the Scheldt

Highlight • Cycleway

The works behind the Fluvius building in Melle have finally come to an end. The cycle path is therefore fully usable again between Melle and the Keizerpoort.

The Skipper's House

Highlight • Cafe

Former farm-inn, now café "In het Schippershuis" at the height of the Gentbrugse Meersen. You will inevitably pass it when cycling on Scheldedijk. A very pleasant, traditional Café and restaurant to eat something during your trip.
