This made it vulnerable to floods, which pushed the water inland with violent force. By embanking the area in the 15thcentury , the Meetjesland landscape changed forever and the polders were created. On this 55 km route you ride on the polder dikes and pass by the numerous creeks and gullies that are silent witnesses of the former water and natural disaster.
This route passes our B&B.

This bicycle route takes you past the linking areas recently created by the Vlaamse Land Maatschappij. Linking areas are connection areas between residential areas and industrial zones. They are equipped with buffers, cycling and walking paths, nature and parks and thus increase the livability of the residential areas that are close to the Ghent canal zone.
