Minnewater (Lake of Love)

A tranquil lake on the southern edge of the historic center of Bruges, known for its swans and one of the most beautiful views of the medieval city. According to local legend, it takes its name from a girl named Minna, which is why it is considered the most romantic part of Bruges today. A walk around the lake leads through Minnewater Park and offers a lovely introduction to a visit of the Begijnhof and the old town.
