New since 2005: FLANDERS



Cast off the hawsers and leave for a magical discovery of Flanders, a warm-hearted region with unexpected richness in nature and historical culture. You will find picturesque canals, meandering rivers and straight channels for transportation. This country lends itself perfectly to circular tours of a couple of days and for entire holidays by boat. A range of important inland and sea ports enables you to cruise right into the heart of cities that excel in culture and architecture as Bruges, Ghent, Courtrai, Antwerp, Brussels, Bergen (Mons) and Rijssel (Lille in France) Especially Ghent, Courtrai and Bruges are entirely navigable and an El Dorado for canal tourism. Lovers of nautical patrimony, navigation, gastronomy, nature and the historical towns of Flanders certainly find their holiday hapiness on the flemish canals. Above all things visit the regional canal and castle route of Flanders and visit the historical natural reserve of the Yser, Leie and Deule. The Leie region was and still is a source of inspiration for many artists. For a description, photos and links of a number of waterways -click here...
