Hiking

The canals have been the veins of the city for centuries, they meander through Bruges and treat you to another magnificent view behind every bend. While strolling or sailing you will discover secret gardens, numerous romantic bridges and see medieval facades reflected in the water. A swan family that floats by, time always stands still on the canals.

Hiking

The name "reien" is an evolution of De Reie. That was the most important watercourse, with various tributaries in Bruges. The largest amount of river water flowed into the city center in the south, where the Minnewater is located.

Hiking

The canals of Bruges are perhaps the symbol of romance in the city centre. Looking out over the water from a boat or from one of the charming little bridges: this place is always enchanting. And with a bit of luck, a family of swans will pass by.
