Canal that runs along the south side of the (largely closed) Etbos.
Not as beautiful as the Zuidlede that forms the northern border of the Etbos, but still very charming in some places.

Cobblestone section for real enthusiasts. Gorgeous!! 😋 TIP: stay away from the paths on the sides. They are dangerously situated.

This stream used to be part of the natural middle course of the Durme. Due to the canalization of the Noordlede, the current Moervaart, the Zuidlede lost any transport function... and was able to develop into the beautiful piece of nature reserve that it has now become.
