The canal meanders through the Belgian countryside and offers beautiful views of the surrounding polders and fields. The cycle path along the canal is well maintained and often far removed from busy roads, making it perfect for a relaxing cycle ride.

The canal with many names: officially it is called the ‘Afleidingskanaal van de Leie’, it is often called the ‘Schipdonkkanaal’ or ‘Kanaal van Schipdonk’ and in common parlance people sometimes dare to speak of the ‘Stinker’. The latter name refers to the heavily polluted water in the canal as a result of flax retting in the Leie.

It was precisely because of that polluted water that a siphon was built to prevent dirty water from flowing into the Ghent-Bruges canal. The ‘Goed van Schipdonck’ near this intersection is said to have given the canal its name.
