    The Schipdonk Canal meanders for 56 kilometers from Deinze to Heist, where it flows into the North Sea. The canal serves as both an economic and a natural connection, forming the dividing line between the Meetjesland region, the Leie region, and the sea. The canal's construction in the nineteenth century was one of the first major infrastructure projects in the young Belgium. The canal played a strategic role during both the First and Second World Wars, serving as a key component of the military defenses. Today, it's especially enjoyable (and sometimes challenging) cycling!
