The beaver has also established itself in the Rosdambeek valley for several years. But what about the otter? This species is also making a cautious and slow return in Flanders. Could the otter also establish itself in the Rosdambeek valley? And what is actually the difference between a beaver and an otter? Although both animals are strongly connected to water and are sometimes associated with each other, they clearly differ from each other in appearance, way of life and their role within the ecosystem. During this walk we go in search of tracks, stories and facts of both species. We discover what opportunities the Rosdambeek valley offers for these two special mammals. 10.00 to 12.00 hours. Kerk Afsnee, Afsneedorp 18, 9051 Ghent. Boots are recommended, as we trek through a wetland area that can be quite wet. For practical reasons, dogs are not allowed.

De Gentse historian Leentje Van Hoorde takes you in the footsteps of Virginie Loveling, from the Loveling tower near her former home to the city center. Virginie Loveling wrote down her impressions of Ghent as an occupied city for four years during WWI. Between 1914 and 1918, Ghent was the logistical hub of the German army and housed a large group of refugees. The city shook to its foundations and Loveling was terrified. Keeping a diary was strictly forbidden. Out of necessity, she became increasingly creative in finding hiding places for her forbidden texts. The De Loveling walk takes you back to the Ghent of refugees, emergency hospitals, starving workers, clever smugglers, imprisoned prostitutes, profiteering officers, and scared soldiers with homesickness.
