The (historical) Scheepsput can be found in the beautiful green Sint-Pietersveld. You would hardly believe it, but this well was dug in the mid-19th century to build a three-master. The large sailing ship served as a training ground for the sailors of a reform school in the area (now Community Institution De Zande). The pond was given the name 'Het Schip', but was transformed by the local population into the Scheepsput.

Very nice piece of single track that runs just next to the Trakelweg (canal towpath) just next to the Mandel. The small but beautiful Mandelhoek Nature Reserve certainly has its charms. Many years ago the Mandel was very polluted but nowadays it has become very clear water. Thanks to good nature management the entire area has become beautiful.
