Dag 2
The famous canals of Brugge
9 december 2023, Belgien ⋅ 🌬 10 °C
As in Strasbourg, Brugge also has some magnificent canals visited by thousand of tourists.
The channels are the demonstration of man's struggle to reach the North Sea, a process facilitated (creation of the Zwin Canal) or obstacolated (silting up) by the forces of nature over the centuries.

In the future, with rising seas, Brugge (just 2 metres above the sea level) may have to start struggling again.Läs mer
