Travelling by train? Take the NMBS-train to Eeklo station, located on the Ghent-Eeklo line.
From there, you can easily transfer to our historic trains, which depart from platform 3 of the NMBS station.
Please note: On Wednesdays in July and August, our train does not stop at the NMBS station but stops at Eeklo Oostveld instead.
This halt is approximately a 200-metre walk from the NMBS station.
From the train station, walk past the bus stops towards the level crossing on Oostveldstraat. Cross the crossing – the Eeklo Oostveld halt is just on the other side.


By bus

There is a bus stop right outside Maldegem station. De Lijn’s bus line 50 connects Bruges, Maldegem, Eeklo, and Ghent, stopping literally at our doorstep (stop: Maldegem station).
We are also accessible by bus from Deinze and Aalter via De Lijn’s line 87.

For the most up-to-date timetable of the buses, please consult the De Lijn website.


By bike

Our station is located right by cycle junction 10 of the Damme Route, a popular cycling trail through Meetjesland. There is a covered bike parking (unattended) available at the station – ideal for those who want to combine their steam train visit with a bike ride through Meetjesland.
