Outdoors lovers may want to head to this natural beauty south of central Bruges, which is known as a romantic spot thanks to the local legend that says you must cross the lake's bridge with your partner to ensure eternal love. Literally meaning "Lake of Love," the rectangular lake offers lots of benches for enjoying the views and resting.

Recent visitors said the park was lovely in autumn and free of crowds. There are also swans to add to the romantic ambiance, according to reviewers.

The lake is accessible to visitors daily free of charge. The park is best reached by taxi, bike or your own two feet.
