This church in the village of Vlassenbroek – built without a steeple but with a roof turret above the intersection of the nave and transept – was dedicated to Saint Gertrude of Nivelles. In the Rhineland, she is known – and this is by no means meant disrespectfully – as the "Mouse Saint," since in the Middle Ages she was invoked primarily against those pests that constantly helped themselves to the food supplies in the house and barn.

Tucked away in a meander of the Scheldt River, the village welcomes thousands of hikers, cyclists, and bon vivants every year. The Gothic St. Gertrude's Church, visible from the Scheldt banks, towers over the landscape and is an iconic sight. It's open to the public every Sunday in July and August. Did you know that Vlassenbroek is also a uniquely creative village? This artists' village has a magnetic pull on anyone who loves art and beauty. In these narrow streets, you'll discover a rich collection of works by sculptors and painters. The picturesque surroundings must have something to do with it. It's the perfect place to get lost.

This bridge (and others in the region) weren't there when I was a kid. Now, you can enjoy lovely, scenic, and short walks and bike rides from the charming Zennegat. Be careful in wet weather, though, as they can be a bit slippery.

It can get busy (and dangerous) there during rush hours. At less busy times, it's a nice street for cycling.

Willebroek Canal, not at all enthusiastic about the track and the environment. It's industrial.
