Immerse yourself in the glorious past of Vollezele, the birthplace of the sturdy Brabant draft horse. The Belgian Draft Horse Museum is located 100 meters from your starting point. You’ll pass right by the Stal De Follezelles stud farm, where it all began, admire a bronze statue of Brillant—the progenitor of the breed—and pet the heads of his living descendants in the meadows of the Congoberg. You’ll find complete peace and quiet in the Dender-Mark quiet zone.
