    Hiking

    The Roeselare-Leie Canal is a shipping canal between the city of Roeselare and the Leie River at Wielsbeke. It is 16.5 kilometers long. Via the Leie River, it connects the port of Roeselare with the ports of Dunkirk, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, and Liège.
    Dug between 1862 and 1872, it provided significant employment. Ships loaded (up to 600 tons for the port of Roeselare) with grain, sand, and other commodities sailed up the canal to supply the businesses along its banks.
    As of 2020, the canal transported more than 4 million tons of goods annually.

    Towpath along the Roeselare-Leie canal. Cycling and walking area. In addition, there are apparently nice trails for MTB.
