This is stop 5 of the Reynaert Cycle Route in the municipality of Sint-Laureins, an attractive cycling route revolving around the medieval animal epic "Van Den Vos Reynaerde." The route follows polder roads and creeks, taking you past ten Reynaert statues by Chris Ferket. These depict the chickens Pinte and Sproete (daughters of Cantecleer the rooster), who in the story carried the litter on which their sister, murdered by Reynaert, lay.

The picturesque St. John the Baptist Church is a single-nave church built in 1682 and thoroughly restored in 1984. Above the portal is a niche with a sandstone statue of St. John the Baptist from 1646. The building has a beautiful Rococo and late Baroque interior. The church furnishings include a magnificent confessional (1699), pulpit (1699), and communion rail (1704) by Hendrik Hagheman, a native of Bruges. The church also includes a magnificent monstrance (1725) and a silver reliquary of St. John the Baptist (1775-1776), both made by Pieter De Thieu. St. John in Eremo was once one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the Meetjesland region. The still-existing procession involved prayers against epilepsy, seizures, fevers, and plagues.

This creek connects to the Boerekreek to the west and to the Oudemanskreek to the east. It contains brackish water. The creek lies directly north of the Leopold Canal. Due to silting, the creek could no longer drain, which caused problems for agriculture. Therefore, around 2000, the drainage to the Leopold Canal on the east side was improved, the creek was also dredged, and the banks were reinstated to the nature reserve. (Wikipedia)

The Boerekreek is the largest creek (39 hectares) and was once known for its many water sports. Fishing is still permitted there, and another section of the creek is a nature reserve.

This creek area was once a mecca for eel fishing. Even today, you can still find specialized eel houses here.

Hollandersgat Creek is a creek in the Meetjesland creek area southwest of the village of Sint-Margriete, which belongs to the East Flemish municipality of Sint-Laureins. Hollandersgat Creek extends from Blok Creek and is separated from it by a dam. The creek is a remnant of the Hollandersgat, which formed after the All Saints' Flood of 1570 and the subsequent inundations by the Geuzen. Hollandersgat Creek connects with Kruis Creek, which lies on Dutch territory and is connected to the Passageule via a complex creek system. (Wikipedia)

The Blokkreek is approximately 3 km long and meanders through the flat landscape. Peat was dug here during the early Middle Ages. These pits were later eroded further and further during countless floods and storm surges. (RouteYou)
