Nice, quiet, early morning you may feel like you're alone in this world.

This beautiful building is a good example of Brabantine Gothic.

The Schellemolen is a stone windmill in Damme, Belgium. The white-painted mountain mill dates from 1867 and replaced an earlier standard mill. There has been a mill on this spot along the Damse Vaart since 1479. The mill is equipped with two pairs of stones and an oil mill in the basement. The mill operation was stopped in 1963, after which the Schellemolen fell into disrepair. In 1971 the province of West Flanders bought the mill and had it restored. In 1977 it was able to grind again. The mill can be visited every weekend from April 1 to September 20.

Windmills, just as you would imagine in this area.

A wonderful cycle path along the canal.

One day at the beginning of the twentieth century, the then owner of the Arentshuis and the garden of the property were expropriated. The city council believed that the garden should be made public and that there should be a museum. In addition, there had to be a connection with the other part of the Arentshof. For this purpose, a simple bridge was built over the Reie in 1911, the Bonifacius Bridge. It became one of the most photogenic bridges in Bruges and much of the rest of the world. Who ever visited Bruges and didn't take pictures?

In the 13th and 14th centuries, this sea arm - ’t Zwyn - was an important waterway to Bruges. This waterway was created after the sea had penetrated the land around the beginning of the Christian era. The cities of Bruges, Damme and Sluis were located on the Zwin and became flourishing trading centres. But the channel became increasingly shallow and eventually unnavigable. That is why the Zwin was later largely poldered. Nature then took over here. Source: https://www.hetzeeuwselandschap.nl/natuurgebieden/het-zwin

The Zwin is a slufter: a beach plain behind the dunes that is in open connection with the sea. Directly behind the gully mouth lies a sandy beach, further inward lie dunes and salt marshes. Behind the row of dunes lie two small polders, which are managed by the Zeeuwse Landschap: the Kievittepolder and the Oudelandsepolder. In the Zwinweide, once a side channel of the Zwin, is a very varied area where fresh and salt alternate at a short distance. Thanks to the alternation between wet and dry, salt and fresh, and clay and sand, the entire area has a great variety in vegetation and birds.
