Description by the author

Explore the beautiful Leiemeersen area between the Ringvaart canal and the villages of Drongen and Afsnee. The Assels nature reserve is an important meadow bird area along some old farms, such as 't Goed der Kaeksmede. Walk along the Piereput further via the Afsnee ferry and along the Leiedijk.

The Assels walking route is offered to you by Routen, an initiative of Tourism East Flanders.
