If you would like to go swimming when you are in the city, this is the place to be! It is a 20 minute drive from the center of the town. Set in the natural area of Deinze it features outdoor swimming and a little cafe where you can grab a drink and a bite. It is an old-fashioned place where grandmothers play cards and has flemish feel to it. The surroundings are great for walking, so get out and explore!
