말데젬 최고의 사이클링 경로

Nice little city that took over business from Damme, who in its turn took it over from Brugge as the boat passages to Bruges got more and more sanded.

The Celie Bridge was destroyed twice, and rebuilt twice. This iron drawbridge, typical of the Schipdonk Canal, rarely rises. Shipping is not possible here, unlike in the past, when there was a loading dock on the Lieve River. (Mijnplatteland.com)

Good for every bike

Ideal for cycling on this safe track, approximately 45 km between the two towns

nice pedaling without traffic

The Schipdonk Canal meanders for 56 kilometers from Deinze to Heist, where it flows into the North Sea. The canal serves as both an economic and a natural connection, forming the dividing line between the Meetjesland region, the Leie region, and the sea. The canal's construction in the nineteenth century was one of the first major infrastructure projects in the young Belgium. The canal played a strategic role during both the First and Second World Wars, serving as a key component of the military defenses. Today, it's especially enjoyable (and sometimes challenging) cycling!

Wonderful place to cycle along the still water

A lovely gravel path straight through Assebroek and through the greenery. Be careful of the roads that cross this path.
