Ryckevelde

Ryckevelde extends across 180 hectares at the intersection of three municipalities, featuring diverse landscapes with beech, oak, and coniferous trees throughout the grounds.

The parkland developed on ancient sand ridges formed during the last ice age, with its name derived from the term 'rycke' referring to these geological formations.

The educational walking path spans 1300 meters through the heemtuin, containing 40 information points that teach visitors about local ecology and natural heritage.

Visitors can access designated dog-friendly paths, two children's play zones, and a wheelchair-accessible trail that ensures inclusivity for all park guests.

The nature reserve Schobbejakshoogte within the park maintains its heath landscape through natural grazing by sheep and goats, preserving native plant species.
