Deurle Village

Highlight • Settlement

The name Deurle may have come from Middle Dutch. "Door" would be a corruption of "dor" which would derive from "doort", or "cockle" which would mean some kind of grass growing up among the corn. "Lo", in turn, is a bush on a sandy ridge. So it would be a village where cockatiel grows in the lean fields, and a bush stands on a sand ridge. Via the derivation "door carriage", the toponym could also mean "passage of water".

Leie Riverside Path: Kortrijk to Kuurne (North Side)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful route from Kortrijk center to Kuurne along the north side of the Leie. In most parts there is a motorway next to the elevated cycle path, but you are therefore on an elevated and momentarily separated part. This ties in with the Leie Kuurne-Harelbeke and Bissegem-Kortrijk segments. Ideal for walking, touring cycling, running or cycling.

Moen–Bossuit Canal Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This segment is the last part of the Kortrijk - Bossuit series (15.5 km total).

It connects to the Zwevegem - Moen segment. Unfortunately, part of the towpath and the main road are gone. When I was there, it was quite quiet. I don't know if it is busier in normal times.

Scheldt River Path at Outrijve

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Scheldt originates in Northern France north of Saint-Quentin, approximately 95 meters above sea level. It is a small spring that only forms a stream in its first kilometers. As it flows, the stream is fed by other side streams and grows into a real river, eventually flowing into the North Sea as a mighty stream.

The Scheldt can be divided into three zones. From its source to the tidal lock of Merelbeke, near Ghent, it is called the Upper Scheldt.

In several places the Upper Scheldt forms the border between Wallonia and Flanders. Over the centuries, weirs and locks were built to improve the navigability of the Upper Scheldt. On the banks of the Upper Scheldt you will discover the typical lakes, industrial areas and many cut-off Scheldt arms. Despite all the adjustments, the Scheldt Valley has still retained much of its original character.
