Activity itinerary

'T Zand

We meet at Ben's bikes and prepare ourselves for the tour.

Brugse Vesten

We cycle along the green ramparts that circle Bruges, past the old city gates and the windmills that still stand on the edge of town.

Damme Canal

We follow the Damse Vaart, a canal lined with tall poplars, and hear how it came to cut through this picturesque landscape.

Damme

We cycle through the beautiful protected countryside around Damme and hear the stories this landscape has to tell.

Damme

We stroll through the beautiful historic centre of Damme and find out how this small town once served as the transshipment port of Bruges in the Middle Ages.

Oostkerke

Bruges once had its own transshipment port, where goods from all over Europe were unloaded and moved on toward the city. Today you have to know where to look to find it. Together we read the landscape, trace where the port used to be and uncover the story behind it. Then you put on a VR headset and see it the way it looked at its height, busy with ships, merchants and cargo.
