Between 1857 and 1860, the old Bossuit-Kortrijk canal was dug using spades and wheelbarrows, as well as horse and cart. After the construction of the new canal in the early 1970s, this old section of the canal remained in place. As a result, an ideal spawning ground was created here. Fish find few suitable opportunities to spawn and lay their eggs. They do this on aquatic and riparian plants, which are present in limited numbers in the canal. Species such as rudd and pike require plants to complete their reproduction. The creation of fish spawning grounds gives the fish population a "natural" boost. However, it is not only fish that benefit from this nature development zone. Dragonflies, amphibians, waterfowl, and breeding birds also find an ideal habitat there.

The Kortrijk-Bossuit Canal was built between 1858 and 1860 to connect the Leie and Scheldt rivers, primarily to transport coal from the Borinage to Flanders.

The old tram line in Rollegem was redeveloped into a slow road. It took some time to complete the final section, at the former tram station on Tombroekstraat (Beekweg). From the 18th century until May 25, 1963, the tram station served as a stop on the Kortrijk-Mouscron line. This line not only transported passengers, but often also a wagon loaded with goods or coal. The stop and loading yard were located on Tombroekstraat. From 1902 to 1938, the line was electrified. In 1963, a bus line replaced the tram. In 1990, the Flemish government constructed a cycle path on the embankment of the decommissioned line, connecting Bellegem with Rollegem, including a tunnel under the A17 motorway. However, approximately 300 meters of tram track, between two meadows, remained untouched. Starting in 2004, the city council purchased plots of land along the tram track. The missing section was included in the Cycle Route Plan. This section also includes the former bridge over the Fabrieksbeek stream. The new Chiro building is located on the site of the former tram station. Source: Stadskrant Kortrijk

Beautiful newly landscaped park along the Leie is a good place to stop.

concrete towpath, not the most comfortable for a cycle

Many boats to see ! Beton road for +/-2km before a better asphalt road. Watch out for fishing rods
