Hiking

The Gentbrugse meersen is a 240 hectare open area southeast of Ghent. Natuurpunt and the City of Ghent are working together on a nature center with space for playing nature. It lies between the built-up zones 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.

Hiking

The Gentbrugse Meersen is a nature reserve just outside of Ghent. It's a green area where you can relax and enjoy an easy afternoon walking, jogging or picnicking. You would almost forget there is a big Highway going right past it.
