Icon description route Description

You quickly leave the heart of Ghent through the Leie and the National Watersportbaan. Playing with the (Old) Leie, you go via manual crossings in Afsnee and the small Pontstraat, unpaved roads, beautiful avenues, and quiet lanes in search of, among other things, Castle Morluut, the Latemse Meersen, the Castle of Ooidonk, the Schipdonk canal, beautiful villas in Sint-Martens-Latem, old farms, ... The variation between forest paths, quiet lanes, banks of canals/rivers, and unpaved sections keeps the tour continually interesting. You'll find several atmospheric terraces along the way, and you can also visit the beautiful Castle of Ooidonk and its gardens (see website!). After Castle Ter Beken and Castle Claeys-Bouüaert, you reach back to the heart of Ghent through the Brugse Vaart.

Time for another nice terrace: there's plenty of choices!
