This bird paradise is the place to go for beautiful walks and bird-watching. You cross the Scheldt and ride through the Gentbrugse meersen. It is the ideal place to marvel at how the tides &#8211; ebb and flow &#8211; still have their effect so deep inland. 1 m 20 is the difference between high and low tide.<br \/>\nVilla Emma purchased 60 tonnes of CO2 in 2022 to offset the CO2 emissions of all guests for 3 years. This compensation will be done, among other things, by planting trees in the Gentbrugse Meersen<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-119ce3d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"119ce3d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d2d6c7\" data-id=\"9d2d6c7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dc4fa0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4dc4fa0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You continue the route and drive into Ghent city centre.
