Cable ferry

Is part of the Barefoot Path, but you can also use the pull raft at the height of the dog swimming area with your shoes on to cross the water. Very nice for children.

Puyenbroeck Provincial Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Puyenbroeck is a provincial domain of 510 hectares in the Belgian province of East Flanders, mainly in Wachtebeke but also in Zaffelare and Eksaarde. The area was purchased by the province in 1965 and opened to the public in 1969. The park is low-lying and contains several large ponds. The part of the park south of the Zuidlede is more wooded. Puyenbrug Castle is also located in the park. The name "Puy" refers to an artificial height, while the word "broeck" refers to the swampy nature of the lakes.

There is a large playground, sunbathing areas, a flower park of 23 hectares, a play forest of 10 hectares and a traffic park where children can ride go-carts. There is also an animal park that pays attention to the 'Living Heritage', ancient livestock breeds. You can take a tour through the park with a tourist train. Bicycles and carts can also be rented and rowing boats and pedalos can be rented at the ponds.

MOLA, the provincial mill center in the former Puyenbrug Castle, is also located on the grounds of the provincial domain.

The domain has approximately 150 hectares of forest, with an almost completely contiguous forest area south of the Zuidlede. A permanent breeding wall for birds has also been constructed, which is used by, among others, the sand martin and the bee-eater. An ice cellar was set up as a hibernation place for bats. Some shallow spawning grounds for the fish were created in the ponds.

In 2017 and 2018, Music For Life, Studio Brussel's charity campaign, took place on this domain.
