This waterway 'De Langelede' is a man-made canal in the Belgian town of Wachtebeke, between the Dutch border and the Moervaart.

The information board is a bit hidden and not easy to read unless you are sitting next to it.

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.

Lovely cycle path along the Langelede. Here the wind can be your partner or opponent. Don't forget to enjoy the life landscape.

The Kloosterbos is a nature reserve in the north of East Flanders and is divided between Zelzate and Wachtebeke. It is, just like the Heidebos and the Stropersbos, one of the last remnants of what was once an extensive forest and heathland area from Maldegem to Stekene. Most of the trees in the current forest have been planted in the last 200 years, before that it was mainly heathland, as can be clearly seen on the Ferraris map. A number of zones in the forest have been set up as play forests. The forest has had the FSC label since June 2010.

There are many large and varied walking trails, as well as a play forest, a grass field and a sand hill area. You can also spot deer.
