Hand Pump at Groene Fietsgordel Brugge

Highlight • Rest Area

The pump was replaced by a modern version. It is not clear what the function of the pump is. Presumably it is a toy, given the presence of other wooden play elements on the path.

Vloethemveld Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

The Vloethemveld is a nature reserve of approximately 365 hectares with a hidden past. It is a very varied area, with woods, heaths, sparse grasslands and nutrient-poor water. You will find untouched nature, military heritage and the memory of a prisoner of war camp through the art of its inhabitants. natuurenbos.be/vloethemveld
