Lilian Friese
★★★★★2 years agoAmazing park surrounded by the city of Gent. It offers different exciting views all year. You can choose between different rounds that are mostly wheelchair accessible. Different observation huts offer amazing views. There is also a nature-center where you can follow workshops, buy books and even have a coffee or a nice snack! Totally worth it.
