A first with Komoot. And delighted to discover this place as I have been frequenting Ostend for 30 years. A moment of restful and serene relaxation where birds are numerous and easily observed. Not to mention the many jellyfish swimming and visible from the banks. An ideal place for a picnic. There are plenty of benches to enjoy the place.

The name suggests it: duck decoys were built to catch wild ducks for consumption. A duck decoy is a pond surrounded by a ‘decoy forest’ and long catch pipes in every corner. The catch was a combination of tame barn ducks and a brown decoy dog (which looked like a fox because of its colour). The decoy man chased the ducks to the end of the catch pipe, where they were caught in nets. Although there are many duck decoys in the Netherlands, this is indeed a Flemish invention. The duck decoy in Meetkerke (from the 16th century) is one of the few remaining examples. Of course, the duck decoy is no longer used for hunting. One of the catch pipes was recently completely restored, a special piece of history restored to its former glory! The duck decoy of Meetkerke is located in a beautiful part of the Flemish nature reserve: the Meetkerkse Moeren. You can easily find the hidden spot via the Meetkerkse Moeren walking route!

During the First World War, 18,000 German soldiers stayed in these areas. After the Second World War, the Vloethemveld was converted into a prisoner of war camp housing approximately 100,000 prisoners, mainly of German and Baltic origin. Meanwhile, the local population knew little or nothing about this camp. It explains why the Vloethemveld POW camp is not part of our collective memory... (Brugse Ommeland)

Historical interpretation: The Ostend Spuikom was constructed from 1900, but the first experiments in 1912 immediately went wrong. The current turned out to be too strong and caused damage to the quay walls of the harbour. The Spuikom was destroyed in the First World War and was never restored afterwards. Source: City of Ostend

The Vloethemveld is a nature reserve of approximately 365 hectares with a hidden past. It is a very varied area, with forests, heaths, sparse grasslands and nutrient-poor water. You will find untouched nature, military heritage and the memory of a prisoner of war camp through the art of its inhabitants. This combination is unique in the world. The area is the ideal setting for a relaxing trip, an introduction to the history of the area or an adventurous discovery tour in nature. There is a nice play area for the children. Camp Vloethemveld can only be visited with a guide.
