Deinze is the centre of the Eastern-Flanders Lys-area. Although the city itself doesn’t have many historical buildings, the area looks rather beautiful. The Castle of Ooidonk, the provincial nature and recreation domain the Brielmeersen with its yacht port, the museum of Deinze and Lys region and the surroundings of Astene sas (the lock of Astene) and Vosselare put (a meander used for recreational swimming) will surely be to your likings. Also the various cultural and folkloristic events are a good reason to visit this town.
