is The lock in Ooigem forms an essential connection between the Roeselare-Leie Canal and the Leie. However, the lock dates from the early 1970s and was due for a thorough renovation in 2023. These works were accompanied by a drying out of the lock. Among other things, it was given new lock gates and the possibility of remote control. The lock is the only connection between the Leie and the Roeselare-Leie Canal. And annually transfers no less than 4 million tons of cargo.

The Bruwaanbos is a quiet and dense deciduous forest, where winding paths lead you through a varied landscape of old trees and small clearings. The forest offers a mix of shady areas and light vistas, ideal for a relaxing walk or bike ride.

The Kapellemolen or Balsmolen or Waalbosmolen with associated miller's farm is a stone corn and oil mill of the type top-cruiser (ground sailer) on a mill belt, located east of the village centre. The stone corn mill was built in 1847 to replace an old wooden post mill that had been on its current site since at least the second quarter of the 17th century. To the east of the mill is a white-painted miller's house from 1846, with a barn parallel to the south side that dates back to before 1830.

The Izegem street art artist (°1992) created a fantastic masterpiece here. About this work she writes herself: "The name ‘droogbroodstraat’ comes from the 1800s, the soil was completely infertile and nothing could be grown on it, poverty. That is why sheep were placed there… sheep, because cows and horses were for the richer people. Sheep were good for milk and wool, in the 1960s new techniques were developed to fertilize the soil and so the heathland agriculture disappeared and so did the shepherd and his heathland sheep … Hence the reference to the shepherds. Before I started designing I spoke to a very old lady from the street who has lived there all her life. About the war and how the Germans took over certain places to live. The Germans communicated from the Droogbroodstraat. The airport a little further away provided a connection and on the very last night of the war hundreds of soldiers slept on the farmer's land, just on the ground… 1940-1945, crazy stories! The television tower, placed in the year 1973 with a height of 305 meters, the pride of Egem, which you can see from miles away, where I sometimes think 'finally, almost home', could be seen from the neighbors' position just before the building was there. This one certainly could not be missing from the picture!" Source: https://streetartcities.com/markers/97fd1778-0068-4291-808f-b6011cb9039a Djoels currently has a tattoo shop in Egem.

Cosy alpaca farm. If you are tired of cycling, you can take a walk with an alpaca. Otherwise, you can just wave to the animals.

The inn "Blomgadt" is already indicated on a map dating from 1654-1656. The toponym "Blo(e)mgat" is used as the name of the district and inn, with the oldest mention even dating back to 1640. One of the ponds within the nearby "Ardoye Veldt" is the "Blo(e)mgatvijver". In the mid-19th century, the inn was owned by Auguste de Jonghe d'Ardoye, a descendant of the family of lords of Ardooie (and also a senator). In the mid-20th century, the inn was owned by Justice of the Peace Hubert Lagae-Vanden Bussche from Harelbeke. In 2019, the café closed... until the current owner, Julie Velghe, a bricklayer by training, fell in love with the place and restored the café to its former glory by carrying out the necessary renovations. She respected the authentic interior and made it shine again. The café reopened in April 2022, with Julie behind the bar.
