    Hiking

    On the banks of the Leie River, near the Afsnee ferry, stands an intriguing bronze sculpture: The Girl, an expressive artwork by Edward Vandaele. With her stylized, elongated limbs, she radiates both strength and vulnerability—an ode to human emotion and movement. The artist drew inspiration from dance and expressionism, which is clearly palpable in the sculpture's posture and presence. This spot is not only a visual highlight but also a moment of tranquility. As the ferry glides gently across the water, The Girl seems to wait, to contemplate—a silent witness to the rhythm of the village.
