    Tips

    Cycling

    In the Waasland, the Moervaart and the Stekense Vaart wind their way through grassy fields and past beautiful villages. The cycling and walking paths on the banks take the sting of stress and bustle from everyday life with a well-aimed intervention.

    While you walk, amble, laze and pedal with a river breeze on your forehead. You should not book an expensive sauna to let the muscle tension disappear for a while. Exploring the two surprising canals is more than enough – and a lot cheaper.

    Both banks of the Stekense Vaart or the Kanaal van Stekene are recognized as a quiet area. Here you can enjoy a landscape with exceptionally beautiful views. The Vaart was dug in 1315. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the canal was an important economic artery in the region. The waterway played an important role in the transport of bricks and tiles. These were manufactured in the numerous brick and tile factories that this region was rich in.
