크라네포엘 최고의 사이클링 경로

The two canals that intersect here (near Merendree and Zomergem, not Sint-Joris, as initially mentioned here) are the Ghent-Bruges Canal and the Schipdonk Canal. This point is known as the Schipdonk Lock.

The gate also serves as a bridge over the Kalebeek stream. The north facade of the gate (facing the church) features, in addition to the date 1864, the coat of arms of the t'Kint de Roodenbeke family, who acquired the castle that year (and still own it).

To cross the Ghent-Ostend Canal, pedestrians are dependent on the bridges for car traffic: between Bellembrug and the bridge on Veldestraat in Merendree (from here just past the Schipdonksluis) there is only this one, the Hansbekebrug.

Contrary to what the name "museum" suggests, this isn't a building or a domain where you can wander around and admire all sorts of bicycles. No, they make "crazy" bikes (similar to the kind you can experiment with at De Lustige Velodroom in Blankenberge) that you can rent. There's also a drinks vending machine (at d'Oude Smisse).

Meersgat is one of four places in the valley area where you can cross the Oude Kale. You will also find a resting bench here.

Nice place to cycle but watch out for inexperienced cyclists who want to cross the bridge.

Beautiful cycling route through the greenery

I really enjoy driving along the canals. The water and nature are very relaxing.
