The Statieput in Eernegem, also known as the Stationsvijver, is a historical pond located in Eernegem. This pond was originally dug as a water reservoir for the railways and has a surface area of approximately 5 hectares with a depth of approximately 2.40 meters. The water was previously used for the boilers of steam locomotives and sent to Ostend via pipes. The pond was enlarged in the 1920s and has retained its current shape ever since.

Beautiful gravel road where you sometimes feel like you are in another world👌

Beautiful piece of nature in Eernegem. Small, but nice.

The Wijnendalebos near Torhout is a historical forest area that was part of the medieval Bos van Houthulst and has an area of approximately 280 hectares. The forest consists of oaks, beeches and alders, with a rich flora and more than 500 species of mushrooms. Part of the forest is accessible to the public with walking paths and an educational trail, while other parts are protected as a forest reserve. The area borders the Kasteel van Wijnendale and is protected as a Natura 2000 area because of its ecological value.

Did you know that this pond was dug to provide water for steam trains from Torhout to Ostend? It is therefore no coincidence that it is located along the green axis 'Groene 62', a former steam railway route that extends from Torhout to Ostend. In the spring of 2022, the landscape park was renovated to respond even more to the silent experience of nature. Among other things, a covered rest point for cyclists and natural play elements for children ensure that the park is a perfect stopover while cycling! In addition, it is also the ideal place to rest, walk or go fishing and of course enjoy nature. Facilities on the domain: - public toilet - natural play elements - bicycle storage - picnic area (also covered)
