"Lake of Love" by rexvaughan
Just behind the Begijnhof is this lovely little lake with flowers and swans and probably several tour boats. It is locally called the "Lake of Love" since Minne is the Flemish word for love, but there doesn't seem to be much to back up this name. However, it is a peaceful place for a rest and some people watching. We even found some good Belgian waffles (imagine!) just beside it. There is also some legend having to do with Maximillian cursing Brugge to have to keep swans on their lakes eternally.
