畑の隣にある美しい並木道

素晴らしい長い砂利道。ゲントから来るなら、これは多くの砂利道の冒険の始まりです。

Lokerenの地区であるDaknamにあるDaknambrug。Durme川にかかるこの魅力的な旋回橋は、古いリール-ティルブルフ街道にあったかつての渡し船の跡地にあります。そのような渡し船は、人々、家畜、馬、車両を渡すための橋として機能していました。現在の旋回橋は、1930年代から小さな木製の橋に取って代わりました。当時、Durme川はZuidledeとMoervaartの合流点からSpletterenbrugまで、Middendamの高さのカーブまでここで直線化されました。夏には、LokerenへまたはLokerenから航行するレクリエーションボートを通すために、橋の番人が橋を開けるのを見ることができます。

The Kalkenvaart is a waterway between the village of Kalken and the Scheldt River. It runs through the Kalkense Meersen nature reserve and is very popular with anglers, hikers, and cyclists. A wide cycle and walking path runs alongside the canal. Since its dredging in 2022, the Kalkense Vaart has been very clean. You can cross the canal via the Roerdompbrug (Broedomp Bridge) and/or watch for fish swimming by.

At the intersection of the 4 municipalities that form the Kalkense Meersen nature reserve, an observation platform, 5m high and 3.5m wide, placed by Natuurpunt in 2023, offers a beautiful view of the old Scheldt arm and more generally of the nature of the Kalkense Meersen.

Berlinde is a toponym and refers to 'berre' or barre linde. So there used to be a dry linden or one without leaves at this location. In 1623, Jan De Croock was paid for making a tree chapel. The stone chapel came after a petition from 1670 by Jan Eeghers, mayor of Laarne. An extension on the south side in 1774 gave the chapel its current form with an entrance portal and rood screen. Many parts of the interior are still authentic, such as the joinery and carpentry of the entrance door, the baluster railing of the rood screen and the plastered vault. The current bell tower replaces an older one. On the other side of the chapel is a cozy café with a terrace (De Berre Linde, formerly café De Kapelle).

Nice gravel course, some holes and tree roots to avoid.
