Nostalgic
riverboat
Sail with the nostalgic riverboat 'Lamme Goedzak' from historic Bruges to charming Damme or vice versa. The slow, yet stylish boat is undoubtedly the ideal way to discover the Damse Vaart and enjoy the passing polder landscape lined with majestic rows of poplars.
The nostalgic riverboat 'Lamme Goedzak' sails back and forth four times a day between Bruges and the center of Damme, the city of Thyl Ulenspiegel whose friend was called... Lamme Goedzak.
Recently, the Lamme Goedzak underwent a thorough makeover. The boat is once again bathed in its authentic style of yesteryear and offers every visitor who steps on board a unique and nostalgic experience along the most picturesque panorama of the Brugse Ommeland.
Let yourself be carried away on the Damse Vaart
The boat Lamme Goedzak and the Damse Vaart carry a rich history with them. The plans for the Damse Vaart were made over 200 years ago under the rule of Napoleon Bonaparte, who sought a connection between Bruges, Sluis, and Breskens for both economic and military reasons. The landscape of the Damse Vaart is iconic and features one of the most majestic tree-lined avenues in the country.
Explore the
idyllic countryside
The iconic landscape of the Damse Vaart, with one of the most majestic rows of trees in the country, offers without a doubt a picturesque panorama. The canal connects Bruges with Damme (and continues to Sluis) and is a favorite spot for cyclists, walkers, and anglers. The Lamme Goedzak is the ideal way to discover the Damse Vaart while enjoying the passing polder landscape.
The people of Damme are justly proud of their medieval town and the iconic Damse Vaart, which elegantly connects historic Bruges with Sluis in the Netherlands. Not only the historic center of Damme, but also the vast polder landscapes and historic dikes invite you to explore the Brugse Ommeland.
