Nice view, you seem to be in the middle of nowhere

The Ledegemse Meersen area has two hiking loops: A smaller, elevated loop on a semi-paved surface that remains accessible year-round, and a larger loop that more or less follows the boundaries of the area. This unpaved path will be inaccessible during periods of high water. A wooden bridge crosses the Heulebeek stream, and boardwalks have been constructed. You can choose your own route by switching between the two loops.

The St. John the Baptist Church dates from the early 20th century, after the old church was demolished in 1910. The church's history dates back to 1213, when a chapel, founded by Willem van Rollegem, stood here. Around 1640, this chapel was expanded, as well as in 1761. In 1801, Rollegem-Kapelle became an independent parish, splitting from that of Moorsele. Source: Wikipedia

The information board on site explains: The first mention of the parish of St. Eloois-Winkel, dating from 1382, can be found in Gullegem history. It mentions "Capelle ten Wynckel," located in the north of Gullinghem. Wynckel derives from the Germanic "Wynka," meaning corner. There is also mention of a chapel or place of worship. This was located next to the St. Hubert Inn. People would go to the chapel for Mass; they would go to (the) chapel. This is also why Winkel is also called Kapelle. It was a sparsely populated, wooded, and marshy area. At the urging of Jean-Baptist Mulle to the Bishop of Tournai, Wynckele-Capelle was assigned an assistant priest with a permanent residence. It was again Jean-Baptist Mulle who used all his influence to make Wynckele-Capelle an independent parish. Despite strong protests from the pastor of Gullegem, the Bishop of Tournai issued a decree on January 10, 1747, establishing Wynckele Capelle as a separate parish. This only concerned the spiritual authority. For administrative authority, the Winkel residents remained subject to the rulers of Gullegem. It was during the French occupation, on June 12, 1795, that St. Eloois-Winkel also became administratively independent. The foundation stone was laid in 1755, and the very first church was consecrated in 1758. During the night of June 8–9, 1953, the church burned down completely. On July 20, 1959, Bishop Mgr. Emilius Josephus De Smedt consecrated the new church amidst a large audience. But... this was without the controversial Way of the Cross by Marcel Notebaert.

The St. Eligius Church is relatively recent: after the old one, dating from the mid-18th century, was destroyed by fire in 1953, it was decided to rebuild it with its original appearance, but with a modern interior. The first section of the tower, dating from 1755, was preserved. The second section was built using materials from the original church. The choir was redesigned. Upon entering, you'll encounter a very different view than you might expect based on the exterior: a mix of neoclassical (arches, tympanums, etc.) and modern elements (such as the Stations of the Cross by Marcel Notebaert, which initially drew considerable criticism from locals).
