Connecting with Kleit and Surroundings
Even though Kleit is a small town, it has a lot to offer. From forests, lakes, amazing views, nice restaurants, bars, and a lot of history about WWII. Bring your good vibes and your camera for the experience of a lifetime.
The Kampel
Shaka Belgium is located near the top of ‘The Kampel’ and is popularly sometimes called “Poggio van Kleit” and indeed, for the average cyclist, it is a strong calf biter. The top of the Kampel (28m above sea level), with its water tower and view of Kleit and Eeklo, gives you very nice proof that the Meetjesland is not as flat as it seems.
Secret places
What is the purpose of exploring? Find new places where you can connect even more and create memories that last forever. Since I grew up here in this beautiful area, I would love to share some of my secret spots that helped me create my own story.
Canada/Poland WWII Museum
This exceptional museum is unique in Europe and was founded as a special sign of honor for those who were involved in WWII and for our youth, to remember this horrible time. The museum is also fully accessible for persons with physical disabilities.
Mariagrot – Lourdescave Kleit
Almost the entire complex was built with concrete blocks from the demolition of the war airfields of Adegem/Ursel. Material made for warfare was reused to build a place of peace.
