The Bergelen Provincial Estate in Wevelgem developed around a 10-hectare artificial sand extraction pit. The sand was used for the construction of the E403 (A17) motorway in the early 1970s. The municipality purchased this pit and surrounding land between 1989 and 1995. Various planting activities and numerous management works (reprofiling the banks, creating a water berm, building observation huts and walls, creating walking paths, constructing a bat shelter, digging ponds, etc.) were carried out by the municipal council. This created a small but very interesting nature reserve.
In 1996, the farm and the 29 hectares of surrounding agricultural land were purchased by the province, and large parts of the newly acquired area were afforested.

In 1999, the province entered into a lease with the municipality for the management of the Bergelen pit and its surroundings. This created the Bergelen Provincial Estate, which currently covers an area of 47 hectares. The Heulebeek stream flows along and through the estate, still following a largely natural course there.
You'll also find the Bulskamphoeve, first mentioned in Gullegem in 1549. It's a historic farmstead whose horseshoe-shaped buildings are situated within the ramparts. The farmstead was destroyed several times during wartime and subsequently rebuilt or renovated. The current building is believed to date from 1775.
A protected monument, the Meiboom, also stands in the area. This is a group of six lime trees with a large iron cross in the center.

Bergelenput

Highlight • Lake

A special place that is definitely worth a visit. The Bergelenput is a former gravel pit, which has been transformed into a nature reserve over the years. The water in the pits and the surrounding grounds have developed into a valuable nature reserve, making it an ideal place for various species of animals and plants. The area is managed with care, and is home to numerous water birds and amphibians.

Vogelkijkhut Bergelenput

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bergelenput is a 10 ha pond, which originated in the early seventies through sand extraction for the construction of the E403 (A17). Fifty years later, the pond and its surroundings have grown into a small but valuable nature reserve. Besides this observation hut, two viewing walls can also be found elsewhere in the area.

Bulscamp Farm

Highlight • Historical Site

What is now Brasserie Bergelen was formerly known as the "Bulscamphoeve" or "'t Hof van Hanssens," situated in the plain formed by sedimentary deposits from the Heulebeek stream.
It is a moated farmstead, the oldest mention of which dates back to 1549. It is indicated on the Ferraris map (1770-1778) as a fully moated farmstead with detached buildings and a U-shaped layout. On the Atlas of Local Roads (1843), it is expanded to five volumes and presumably a gatehouse.
The current, extensively renovated building stock is believed to date from 1775.
