    In the Ooidonkdreef, a beautiful castle avenue with gnarled lime trees, you step under the Blauwe Poort. In the past the shutters were painted blue, now they are colored red and white. It is the only one of the 7 cabinet count gates still standing today. (route description (Routen.be)

      The blue gate, or the Porta Arboreti (built in 1595, restored in 1864) may have been named after an older or different bluestone construction, or - according to other sources - because the shutters used to be painted blue.

        Walk under the Blue Gate and through the scenic driveway to Ooidonk Castle.
