Along the Scheldt near Ghent, you can enjoy the beautiful natural beauty for miles. You also drive through the Dam valley nature reserve.
Gentbrugse Meersen
The Scheldt used to be a wide meandering river. It regularly overflowed its banks and in this way ensured a natural fertilization of the surrounding land. This land was used as pasture, hayfields and fields. After the straightening of a Scheldt meander in 1870, this landscape largely disappeared. Except in the Gentbrugse Meersen and Merelbeekse Meersen, where you cycle through a characteristic open lake landscape.
Keizerpark
The Dam valley is a low-lying, humid nature reserve formed by a number of landed meanders of the Scheldt. You will see flowery hay meadows, peat pits, willow and alder thickets and two lakes. A little further on you drive on the Scheldt dike along the Kalverbos, an enclosed nature reserve. The Keizerpark on the edge of Ghent is the starting and finishing point of this route. This cozy city park is located on a peninsula in the Scheldt and is a green hotspot.
