Icebear Swim: The event is organised by the Dendermondse Ijsberen ( Icebear's of D'monde). In the morning there are races and at 13:00 is our moment to jump in the pool and enjoy. It's not a serious swim and supporters are also very welcome ( so you don't need to swim if you don't want to but you definitely need to cheer us) Important: please register your presence under: https://dendermondse-ijsberen.be/46e-dendermondse-ijsberenfestival/ or https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedskMiHjwYGYUIZ1a2CUJ-jtRoTqQ325HDBSBEPBxeL3d0-g/viewform The swim costs €5 you can pay online or at the swimmingpool.
To bring: bathing suit, towel,slippers, some bravery, hairdryer?, a fun accessory like a swim tube,ring,donut is probably also allowed. Something to eat and drink during the day.
- Walk: I think we will be ready to walk around 14:00-14:30. From the swimmingpool we will cross the village and head to the Schorren. The distance will be between 8.5K to 11K depending on our mood. The walk is close to the confluence of the rivers Schelde and Durme. The trail is partially (very) muddy, partially paved but in general easy. We will end out walk around 17:00 at the swimmingpool.
How to get there: Unfortunately public transportation is cumbersome to the swimmingpool. I recommend to arrive by car and carpool ( IC at 11:25 to Termonde/Dedermonde & bus 91 from D'monde+walk is an option ).
