    One of the most famous sights in the region is the Schipdonk Canal and the Leopold Canal, also known as the "Blinker" and the "Stinker". Leopold Canal (the "Blinker"):
    This unnavigable waterway was dug in 1845 and runs from Boekhoute (Braakman) to Heist and serves as drainage for the surrounding polders. Schipdonk Canal (the "Stinker"):
    This canal was dug in 1852 and is a diversion channel to drain the excess water from the Leie.

      That's how it sometimes seemed to me, the water isn't nice, but the bike path is nice.
