Berlare

A modest Belgian municipality in East Flanders built around two bodies of water: the Donkmeer, a large lake that draws summer visitors, and a wide bend in the Schelde river. The area around the lake forms the tourist core, with cafés and restaurants nearby, while the wider municipality takes in several towns and a village across a largely agricultural landscape.
