Shops
Closest bakery. Aernoudt is a bakery chain in the area, here in Gentbrugge is where they bake the bread, that explains the good smell that you sometimes get in the evening/night. Large bread assortment, pastries, cakes, sandwiches. We love their homemade melo cakes. They serve breakfast as well, although not the cosiest place to sit. Avoid lunch break as people from nearby offices come for sandwiches & there's often a slow queue.

Even closer than Keizerpark to our home. Small patch of grass to relax & easy access to the towpath along the river Schelde. Good starting point for runs along this path. More popular for families as there is a playground.

Closest natural area with different paths (paved & non-paved). Nice for running, walking or a small cycling tour. Take a picnic & choose a spot that you like.
