Good bike lane, but depending on the time of the year, the smell of chemicals and fertiliser is unbearable.

I cycled here in mid April and it was awful. The bike lane is good, as they say, but there's a strong smell of chemicals and fertiliser. I don't recommend this path during this time of the year.

Poeke Castle boasts nearly 1,000 years of history. This impressive, eclectic, rococo-style castle in Aalter has been home to various noble families throughout the centuries; its history itself dates back to the 12th century. Its pale pink facades still sparkle today. The surrounding wooded park, 56 hectares in size, makes the estate a beautiful place for a stroll.
