Due to the persistent drought (just a little rain today...), the lake had dried up. A beautiful sight too! Today a woman on the bench, who comes from Chaam, told me that the last time this happened was in 2019.

A cozy place to relax before or after (or both) your walk. Nice decor, good atmosphere, and friendly service. It was too cold for us to sit on the terrace, but it looked fantastic.

Beautiful walk, but the part to RCN de Flaasbloem is only interesting if you want to drink coffee, otherwise I would skip this piece of asphalt and traffic…
