Hiking
This route winds through beautiful, species-rich nature reserves. Ghent is just a stone’s throw away, but here, there are no signs of the hustle and bustle of the big city.
As you hike, keep your eyes and ears open as the unique mixture of wet and dry meadows create a fascinating mix of fauna against the backdrop of wonderful flora here.
And here’s a recommendation for you to end your hike in style: reward yourself with a stop at the Nenuphar Restaurant. An established name in gastronomy, this Ghent restaurant has been a destination for local families since the 19th century. It’s a chance to enjoy authentic Flemish cuisine using seasonal and regional ingredients and, when the weather is fine, offers a sensational view of the River Leie from the terrace: https://www.restaurant-nenuphar.com

Afsnee
Highlight • Settlement
Since then, water has determined life and so the village center is located directly on the river, as are other settlements. You will still find an original, open cultural landscape and some older farms here.

Beelaertmeersen
Highlight • Natural
In the evenings you can hear owls in the old pollarded willows at the field edges. Rare birds such as bluethroats, warblers, reed buntings and kingfishers breed here. There is also something going on in winter: then you can discover many snipes, but also little snipes and water pipits.

Keuzemeersen
Highlight • Natural
It consists of wet grassland that is regularly flooded. Note the many pollarded willows that have long since disappeared from other lakes around Ghent. If you are quiet you can spot shovelers, yellow wagtails, reed buntings and several lapwings.
