As a cyclist, you can still ride several beautiful kilometers through the forest. It's not like you're through it right away.

The geographical centre of Flanders was determined by students of the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of Leuven. Using GPS measurements and with the help of mathematics teacher Prof. Theo Van der Waeteren, the centre was determined in 1999: it is located in the far corner of East Flanders, a few dozen metres from the previously determined "three-province point" (East Flanders, Antwerp and Flemish Brabant). Just a few metres from the territory of Sint-Amands, it is just in Opdorp, a sub-municipality of Buggenhout. The coordinates are: 51° 2′ 16″ N, 4° 14′ 26″ E. A monument was placed at this point in 2003.
