Description

This picnic area is located at the corner of the Lammerdam which takes us to the Gulke Wells.

The Gulke Putten nature reserve is located on the southern border of what was once the historic Bulskampveld. This stretched between Ghent and Bruges and was the largest heath area in the County of Flanders. The term 'field' referred to the uninhabited, wastelands. Heather vegetation and poor grasslands were found on these sandy soils. From the 15th century, forests were planted in the peripheral zones.

On historical maps we find numerous ponds southeast of Bruges. These late medieval 'field ponds' were created for fish farming by damming streams. The name 'By de Gulke Putten' would also refer to such fish ponds.
