Bouvelokapel and View of Oudenaarde

Highlight • Religious Site

Close to the Bouvelo Chapel we are 80 meters above sea level with a wide panorama of the rolling countryside and the villages in the area. You can spot it thanks to an orientation table, close to the chapel.
The chapel was founded in 1952 because the village was spared from major war violence during WWII. They don't always have to be monuments to the dead...From this place you have a beautiful view of the surroundings; (From "Dragonfly")

Avelgem Scheldt Meadows

Highlight • Natural

On the banks of the Scheldt, on the border between West Flanders, East Flanders and Hainaut, you will find the Avelgemse Scheldemeersen: flowery grasslands, reed beds and wooded edges along cut-off Scheldt bends.

The lakes were created when the Scheldt was straightened. The most famous and perhaps also the most beautiful cut-off Scheldt arm is denomination Marcel Deweer, but they all have a very high natural value and a rich fauna and flora. In some lakes you can walk on the trails, others can only be seen from the towpath.

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.

Sint-Pietersbrugje

Highlight • Bridge

The Sint-Pietersbrug on the old arm of the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal is one of the most beautiful spots in Zwevegem. The bridge dates from 1892 and is a protected monument. It is a rare example of an iron lifting bridge with an open truss construction that was once operated manually.

Old Scheldt Meander Rugge-Avelgem

Highlight • Lake

It's truly astonishing what happens to flora and fauna when a flowing body of water becomes stagnant. This ancient meander of the Scheldt River has long since been cut off from the merrily flowing water and is fed by rain and floodwater. This has allowed a floodplain landscape to develop that is home to very special plants and animals.
