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).

The most beautiful view of the castle of Laarne is at the Kasteeldreef. This highlight is located in the Achterdreef. You can run around the moat of the castle here.

past the corn and the flowers and over a merciful surface for gravel lovers

a few hills, not that special

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

where you can still find a playful course around here? here.

From here you have a beautiful view of the side of the castle once the leaves have fallen in autumn/winter.

The Scheldemeersen, Doornhammeke - on the left bank there is still a small, fine, unspoiled succession of small plots bordered with pollard willows. It is the typical small-scale landscape of the last 200 years with moist lakes and meanders cut off by the straightening of the Scheldt. The area is home to many biotopes in a small area compared to the right bank. In February 2023, a beaver family was spotted that have beautifully 'sculpted' the pollard willows.
