Rural and rustic. That's how you can safely describe the area around this bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the Coupure.

The Ghent Gate is one of Bruges' four preserved medieval city gates. For outsiders, it served as an entrance to the city, and for Bruges' residents, a border with the outside world. The gate was intended to defend the city, but also served as a passage for goods being imported or exported. Note the statue in the niche above the passage: this is Saint Adrian, who was supposed to protect Bruges from the plague. The Ghent Gate is at its most beautiful in the evening, when it is illuminated by the floodlights.

try not to be a traitor to the city else it might be your head up there ;-)

Hi Martin, I have a specific question. I read elsewhere that you crossed from Belgium to the Netherlands from Knokke through the Zwingeul on October 31, 2024. Did you specifically wait for the lowest tide before wading through the water?

Cool 👍🏻bike bridge but beware, it's closed after that in the direction of Bruges 😉

The Ghent Gate is one of Bruges' four city gates that still survive from the Middle Ages. For foreigners, it serves as an entrance into the city, and for Bruges, a border to the outside world. The gate served as a defensive structure, but also as a passageway for goods to enter or exit.
