    Former farm inn.
    Built in the early 1880s behind the Scheldt dike with tow road, after straightening the Scheldt bends.
    Marked in the landscape by some pollard willows.

      This nicely located house with character has long been the ideal break for cyclists and walkers. Now unfortunately it looks permanently closed.

        The café, built in 1880, was originally a relay point for ship pullers who pulled the boats from Melle to Ghent.
        At the beginning of June 2022, the café opened for one more day, for the benefit of Natuurpunt, with the owner (who also ran the inn himself from 1983 to 2001) behind the tap.
