Korenlei

On the left bank of the River Lys, opposite the better-known Graslei Embankment, lies the Korenlei Embankment (Korenlei) – a place where the history of Flemish commercial power is presented in its most picturesque form. Together with the Graslei, the Korenlei forms that classic postcard view which has become the hallmark of Ghent: medieval houses with gables, reflected in the calm waters of the river.
