You’ll immediately see why the picturesque village of Wakkerzeel was once nominated for the title of “Most Beautiful Village in Flanders.” This walk takes you to hidden spots and historic buildings, such as the rectory from 1758, commissioned by Abbot Ferdinandus De Loyers of Park Abbey. Today, the Antitankgracht nature reserve—built to stop German tanks—is teeming with aquatic life.
