The Damse Vaart is a unique landscape. Famous for its stately rows of poplars that lean magically here and there.
More than 200 years ago, Napoleon gave the impetus to thoroughly change the then canal landscape into what we now know as the Damse Vaart.

The Damse Vaart the old canal to Bruges, beautifully situated in an avenue. You expect a ferry that you have to serve yourself. In the hinterland beautiful side streets and the village Oostkerke invites you to linger. Suddenly the castle of Oostkerke appears. Also Damme is a great place, who knows the Flemish Til Ulenspiegel will feel transported back to the 16th century. And should visit the museum next to the town hall. In the Maria-Himmel-Fahrtkirche the last piece of a miracle-working cross can be found. It was brought to Damme around 1300 by Fischer from the sea.
