Oost-Vlaanderen is a province full of diversity. Woodlands, flat polder landscapes, deep valleys, rustic villages, aristocratic historical towns and Gent the city of art and culture. All the ideal ingredients for a relaxed outing in the province. Each region in Oost-Vlaanderen has its own special atmosphere. Meetjesland, in the north-west of the province, is a prime example of discretion with its secluded coves. The typical round fields of Waasland are surrounded by pollarded willows in contrast to the cultural and industrial heritage sites that are the great assets of the Leie region. In Scheldeland rivers, dykes and hunting paths are the outstanding features while the Flemish Ardennes bears its title of «the most beautiful landscape in Flanders» with pride. And the beating heart in the middle of these five tourist regions is Gent the city of art and culture. There are so many ways to discover all this beauty. On foot for instance. Around sixty signposted walks guide you safely around the wonderful attractions in our province. Cyclists have also been catered for; in Oost-Vlaanderen you can cycle to your heart’s content on the biggest cycle route network in all Flanders. You just choose the route you want and cycle from one junction to other.
