Hiking

It almost doesn't matter where you are in Ghent, it is simply stunningly beautiful. This special place offers a great view of the Leie, one of Ghent's two rivers, next to the Scheldt. Stay, enjoy and take some nice photos 📸

Hiking

The Leie can truly be described as one of Ghent's most important attractions. Originating in northern France, the river occupies a prominent place in this city of water. Whether strolling along its banks or taking a boat trip, enjoying a drink on a terrace overlooking the water, discovering picturesque East Flemish villages via a cycling route, or admiring the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers at Portus Ganda: it's all as idyllic as it sounds.
