Itinerary description

On a warm evening after work I head to the nearby Oude Leie in Astene (Deinze) for a “sundowner” packrafting cruise.

The Oude Leie is a 4.7 km meander that got separated from the main river in 1861/62. Since then it has remainded largely untouched and now offers a fine natural habitat with clean water and a good stock of fish.

One interesting feature is the small tow ferry named “Bathio” that allows people to get from Deinze to the outdoor swimming facilities at Vosselare Put.
