November 26, 2024,Buckensrake-route in Bokrijk 🇧🇪

At a certain point you are at eye level with the coots. We took a detour to the arboretum, where a lot of bamboo grew, and passed Bokrijk Castle with welcome …

Yellow walk followed with a detour through the Arboretum to admire the cyclamen that are now blooming. And back via …

Today is International Women's Day – and the weather is absolutely gorgeous! So, we headed out with the whole family ☺️

Even though Bokrijk Park is still closed, we had a really lovely walk today. The arboretum was my personal highlight. The bridge over the lake is definitely the area's main tourist attraction.
