Beautiful place, where, pedestrians, cyclists, cars and teams share the roads and there is no drama.

nice

Quiet course. In the middle of nature. Very beautiful!

Nice quiet cycle path next to the Moervaart

Slow your speed before, on and after the bridge. The pathway is narrow and shared with pedestrians.

There are 400 cast iron border posts on the Dutch-Belgian border. Who can discover them all? At this location you are at Border Post 300, 399 more to go. Tip: surf to https://www.bestemmingbuitenlucht.nl/grenspalen-wandelen-op-de-grens-van-belgie-en-nederland/ and go on a discovery yourself.

This 5.5 kilometre long canal was dug by hand during the 14th century for the transport of peat, sand and beer. The former towpaths - where horses or cows pulled the boats and sloops - are now pleasant cycling and walking paths.

The Langelede was dug to enable the transport of peat. The peat came from a bog area, owned by the abbey of Marquette. It is not clear when this happened, although it is known that the name 'langhe lee' first appeared in 1317. After the bog soils were exhausted, the Langelede fell into disuse. The revival came in 1775, when the Moervaart and Langelede were canalised to enable the drainage of excess water from Ghent. The route via the current Lange Boomstraat was replaced by a new section towards the Oudenburgse sluis. However, the treaty of 1839 limited the drainage to the Netherlands and the Langelede had to be dammed. Afterwards, it was still used for the transport of white sand and sugar beets.
