Nice to look at, plus the nice name

The Minnewater in Bruges, also called the "lake of love", is an idyllic body of water on the edge of the historic city centre. The origin of the Minnewater has both a natural and a historical component: 1. Origin as a watercourse The Minnewater is originally part of an old branch or widening of the Reie, the river that flows through Bruges. In the Middle Ages, this area was transformed into an artificial lake as part of a water management system. It was a kind of outer harbour or water reservoir where ships could moor and where goods were transhipped. 2. Function in the Middle Ages In the 13th century, the Minnewater played an important role in the trade and shipping of Bruges. A lock was built to regulate the water level and to enable access to the city via the water. Bruges was an important trading city at the time, and waterways were crucial for the transport of goods. 3. Romantic name and legend The name "Minnewater" is connected to the legend of Minna, a girl who was in love with a boy from a hostile tribe. According to the story, she fled a forced marriage, hid in the forest, and died of exhaustion. Her lover found her and buried her by the water, which has since been called "Minnewater" - the water of Minna or the water of love. 4. Current meaning Today, the Minnewater is best known as a romantic spot with a picturesque view of the Minnewater Bridge, the Minnewater Park and the Beguinage. It is one of the most photographed places in Bruges.

Beautiful there, worth a visit

After the Tillegembos (Bruges) and the Palingbeek (Ypres), the Lippensgoed-Bulskampveld became the third provincial domain of West Flanders. In 1970, 201 ha of forest, agricultural land, park, castle and associated farms were purchased and opened to the public after construction and development. The Lippensgoed-Bulskampveld was the largest public domain in West Flanders for a long time. In the 1980s, the castle garden was transformed into a didactic herb garden and the exhibition of agricultural materials in galleries around the herb garden was established. In 1990, one of the leased farms within the provincial domain became available. In order to increase the recreational opportunities, various afforestations were carried out there and new avenues were created. With an additional acquisition of 17 ha in 1992, the surface area was increased to 218 ha. About 10 years later, in 2003, 6 ha of St-Amandus were rented and integrated into the existing domain via an educational nature trail. Finally, in 2005, about 8 ha of forest were purchased and added to the public domain, bringing the total to 232 ha. (Province of West Flanders)
