Hiking

Drawbridge so-called "Sint-Pietersbrug" located on an old arm of the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal, dating from the last quarter of the 19th century. The drawbridge, including the cobblestones on the bridgeheads as well as the wooden guides and dolphins are protected as a monument.

Hiking

The St. Peter's Bridge dates from 1892. In 2019-2020, it underwent a thorough restoration, requiring its dismantling to be transported to the workshop, where it was carefully cleaned and sandblasted. In addition, some sections were replaced and riveted by hand. No fewer than 1,000 rivets are incorporated into the entire structure. Finally, the bridge was also given a protective coat of paint in striking Brunswick green, its original color.
