Recreation
On the country roads near the farm you can take endless walks and cycle tours, depending on your condition and on how much time you have.
You can walk to the water mills near the Zwalm river, to the beautiful Schelde valley, to idyllic villages such as Dikkele, Paulatem, Munte, Velzeke, Roborst...
Go ahead... There are plenty of places to eat, to have a drink and to take a rest in between.

Cycling is an infinite pleasure here. The terrain is gently sloping, but not too heavy... This is a very nice region for a family bicycle outing!

A shorter walk near the farm is equally attractive: the walk by the donkeys' corner (3.5 km) and the walk by the old brickworks (3 km) offer a nice view of the immediate surroundings. And... if you look around carefully, you can see the Petrus Wittebrood farm between the trees and against the hill from many unexpected spots. |
