Water is never far away along this route. Polder roads and dikes lead us through a landscape that was partly sculpted by the sea, even if man did lend a hand. The clay soil that was brought in hides a lot of history, of which the creeks and wheels are silent witnesses.

TheSaleghem walking routeis offered to you byRouten, an initiative of Tourism East Flanders.
