Antwerpse Heirweg
The Antwerpse Heirweg is a partially cobbled road south of Oosteeklo, located on the deck sand back Maldegem - Stekene that runs through the Flemish Valley. This road goes back to the medieval road that connected Antwerp with Bruges.
The edges of the broad unpaved roadsides with rows of upward beeches (Fagus) and American oak trees (Quercus rubra) in the eastern part visually forms a special component that greatly enhances the aesthetic value of the whole with the forests located behind it.
The rare cobble stone pavement testifies to an old tradition in road construction and infrastructure works; the pavement of the rural roads with stones has been used for a long time in Flanders.
