Palaveren about Pajottegem
In Pajottegem you taste the region at its purest. In Gooik, lambic and geuze mature at Geuzestekerij De Cam, a place of brewing craftsmanship since 1515. Brewery Sako brews its Bogaerden beers, while Domein Stuyvenberger turns out award-winning Belgian wines.
The landscape reads like an outdoor gallery: from Urbanus in bronze to the Landscape Cubes in Herne and the eight-meter-high "The Abduction of Europe" at the foot of Congo Mountain, where farm horses graze in a protected hiking landscape. The romantic Bailiff's Garden invites slow exploration, while chapels such as St. Paul's and the Desert Chapel recall centuries of devotion, including the annual St. Paul's tradition.
On the Kesterheide, such works of art as De IJzeren Man and Pervivo await, and at its foot is Rural Center Paddenbroek, an old farmhouse and bakery under a glass roof. In Gooik you'll find the Folk Instruments Museum above folk pub De Cam, and in Vollezele the Museum of the Belgian Draft Horse, an ode to the iconic breed from the Pajottenland region.
"Lambics, folk instruments, Brabant draught horses and Urbanus."
