B&B De Zoete Kers
Diepestraat 6
8720 Wakken (Dentergem)
Belgium
🔔 Since April 22 until the end of 2025, the Mandel bridge from Wielsbeke/Waregem is interrupted.
Those coming from that direction to our B&B De Zoete Kers can follow the road detour below. The travel time is the same as the regular road, but smaller roads.
If you come from the E17 freeway in our direction, it is best to take exit 6 Kruisem (instead of e.g. Waregem). Then you avoid the detour.
