You explore the banks along the open water of the Braakmankreek. All kinds of water sports are practiced on and in the 205 hectares of water: from sailing and rowing to swimming and fishing. Water birds, such as the tufted duck and the black-tailed godwit, also like to use the creek, they seek out the area as a resting place. About 500 hectares of forest have also been planted in polder de Braakman. You will also pass Walm. bastion Generaliteit (hull/remainder), a remnant from the time when Ghent was still a fortified city. Many fortifications were lost in 1930, when the unemployed were employed to destroy the city walls. A windmill that has withstood the test of time better is windmill Windlust.
