The score grows. We’ve navigated a canalside strand (lhs) from the Candy Store at Vooruit, (bike HQ for the swamp once running) which was a map & cerebral choice after looking for a route to Ledeberg. In reality it couldn’t be more perfect. A quiet and easy pedal that flows away from Vooruit and city centre noise, revealing the unknown backsides of familiar facades and variations in time through architecture. Then a powerful viewpoint at a split in the Schelde river past the Muink park with the remains of the oldest tree and the 10 benches named after the final Zoo animals (closed 1914) and a bike pass under noise of the highway and bang into the quiet of historic neighbourhood Ledeberg. This area houses more people per sq m with than anywhere else in Belgium, and on the lowest incomes.
