    Beautiful view of the water and many historic buildings.

    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 is a river that flows through France and Belgium. It originates in the municipality of Lisbourg, in the French department of Pas-de-Calais, generally flows in a northeasterly direction and, after a total of around 202 kilometers, flows into the Scheldt as a left tributary in the city area of Ghent, in the Belgian province of East Flanders.
    Of the total length of the Leie, around 109 kilometers flow through Belgian territory, and for a length of around 24 kilometers, the river now forms the border between Belgium and France.
