    Hiking

    Since the construction of the new fortifications - at the beginning of the seventeenth century - a gate has stood on this spot, at the southern entrance of Hulst.

    This gate was built in the year 1780 and used to be called the Hospitaalpoort, this was a reference to the 'hospitaal' (guest house) that stood in the Gentsestraat behind. Now we know the gate as 'Gentse Poort'. The gate has the characteristic curvature to prevent direct fire from the city. In 1902, next to the gate in the rampart, an entrance was dug for the Hulst-Walsoorden steam tram.

    On your walk you pass the 4 city gates, where 3 gates still serve as access to the fortress.

    At the Ghent Gate you can find the Pagadder (Spanish soldier) "Puerta".
