Tips

VISITFLANDERS

June 28, 2021

Cycling

On the banks of the Scheldt, on the border between West Flanders, East Flanders and Hainaut, you will find the Avelgemse Scheldemeersen: flowery grasslands, reed beds and wooded edges along cut-off Scheldt bends.

The lakes were created when the Scheldt was straightened. The most famous and perhaps also the most beautiful cut-off Scheldt arm is denomination Marcel Deweer, but they all have a very high natural value and a rich fauna and flora. In some lakes you can walk on the trails, others can only be seen from the towpath.
