A proud part of the Scheldt Valley National Park, this landscape is a special link between city and nature, where you get the space to slow down, get moving and, most importantly, enjoy the outdoors.
The Gentbrugse Meersen has something for everyone, from walkers and cyclists to sports enthusiasts and families. You can walk along winding paths, picnic in the grass, play outdoor sports or just relax and enjoy the silence.
For those looking for something a bit more playful, there is a children's bike route that takes you past parks and play areas leading to this green space. Ideal for a varied family outing.
Those who really want to experience nature don't always have to stay on the paths. In certain areas, you can walk freely among grazing cows.
A top recommendation: the 1.4-kilometre-long barefoot path. Take off your shoes and feel how the path beneath your feet changes with the seasons. From soft earth to fresh blades of grass: a small journey that will stimulate your senses and brings complete relaxation.
