Nature and surroundings

The nature reserve is an island between Drongen and Afsnee, accessible by only one access road. The Oude Leie meanders through the landscape and forms a natural boundary between the low-lying meadows and the higher-lying donk. The meersen landscape consists of species-rich grasslands, interlaced with ditches. What species are characteristic of the nature reserve? Black-tailed godwits and lapwings nest here every spring. In the short vegetation they accompany their downy chicks on their first search for food. Other breeding birds include shoveler, creak and tufted duck in the canals, wood warbler and reed bunting in the more rugged parts, reed warbler in the reed bed at the Butter Pit and kingfisher in the bank of the same Butter Pit. In winter, the area serves as a foraging area for snipe.

    Stairs up well to do, but good to take a look at, if you are a little less agile possibly more difficult.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5/5

    Lovely place, nice atmosphere! Close to Ghent, and probably many beautiful things in the area, but that's not what we came for this time....

    The cottage is very cozy, the environment is green and yet close to town and the communication with the landlord was super.

    Beautiful cottage. Most present. Lots of light, large garden, heaters. Some things not mentioned in ad but useful to know in advance. For example the mini oven and a ladder going to the bedrooms. So nothing for very small children, or older people. Some personal items here and there. Don't need it as far as I'm concerned, but not bothered by it. Clutter in the drawers. You do not know whether you are allowed in the closets or not. Friendly contact with landlord.

    Nature, peace & environment: 4/5

    Beautiful cottage with spacious green garden on the outskirts of Ghent. Do not expect the silence of nature because, logically, you hear the noise of the city, the highway, the occasional train or siren. We took a walk of two hours, which is mainly on a paved path, through a park and along water and houses. So you are not in the middle of nature but rather in a very green neighborhood with lots of space.
