Visserijvaart
The Visserijvaart or Visserij (formerly called Vissenrei or Rommelwater) and the Achtervisserij are two parallel watercourses in Ghent, a canal and a straightened Scheldt branch, respectively. Together, they form part of the Nederschelde, the branch of the River Scheldt that flows through the center of Ghent.
To make the Scheldt more accessible, a new canal, called Rommelwater or Visserijvaart, was dug in 1752, east of the Nederschelde, which was straightened in 1751.
