Trail Reviews
We didn't enjoy the walk very much. You can hear the noise of the highway all along the route.
Two walking loops, with the Goedinge Bridge as a junction, connect the picturesque village of Afsnee and the Beelaertmeersen with the Keuzemeersen nature reserve. You start in Afsnee, a picturesque village on the banks of the Leie River. Although Afsnee is a submunicipality of Ghent, there is hardly any urbanization here. The picturesque village center is a protected townscape. You continue your walk along the course of the Leie River. In the Beelaertmeersen nature reserve, the Leie has created natural floodplains in several places. If you cross the Goedinge Bridge over the E40, you immediately enter the Keuzemeersen. On your right, you see the nature reserve, consisting of wet grasslands that rarely flood. Note the hedgerows and rows of pollard willows, which have disappeared from other meadows around Ghent. If you look to the left, you can admire the villas along the banks of the Leie River in Sint-Martens-Latem. Want to explore and discover more in Ghent?

A nice walk, with many unpaved areas, and beautiful villas on the waterfront.
Nice walking tour starting from the picturesque village of Afsnee along the Leie. Unfortunately, I had some problems with the GPS, which meant that the route (and number of km) was not indicated correctly...
