College Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The wavy college bridge leads you to the island - literally and figuratively. Because between the two arms of the Leie in Kortrijk lies the lively, hip Budo Island, where you will find numerous cafés, bars and shops and an entire art center and thus wonderful breaks from everyday life!
Our tip: Budo Beach - who needs Bali or the Bahamas anymore?

Buda Island

Highlight • Settlement

Between the two branches of the Leie River in Kortrijk lies the lively, hip Buda Island, where you'll find numerous cafés, restaurants, and shops, as well as an entire art center. Not to mention Buda Beach—who needs Bali or the Bahamas?

Our tip: Be sure to cycle across the wave-shaped College Bridge. It's fun!

Bissegem Plage

Highlight • Natural

With the realisation of Bissegem Plage, Bissegem will gain an attractive and peaceful location. It will be a beautiful piece of nature of almost 10,000m² (1ha) that will be permanently free from construction. In this way, we will preserve the unique green character along the Leie. This will undoubtedly become one of the most beautiful parts of Bissegem. In this zone, we will set up a water buffer basin. We will collect all the rainwater from the Driekerkenstraat here. It concerns two buffer basins, one of which overflows into the other. They are a maximum of half a metre deep. The largest of the two will never be dry. A jetty (wooden terrace) will partly bridge this basin. Here, everyone can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the passage of large boats. We provide a connection with the cemetery.
In a large part of the site, children can romp and play freely. This is also possible in the smallest buffer basin. (info City of Kortrijk)

Leie River

Highlight • River

The Lys (French: Lys) is a river in France and Belgium. It is a tributary of the Scheldt and flows into the city of Ghent. The river is about 200 kilometers long and has its source in Lisbourg. The river forms the Belgian-French border over 26 km from Armentiers to Menen. The river has been used for transportation since the Middle Ages.
