Hiking
In Hoogstraat, you'll find a beautifully restored workers' quarters, formerly known as Het IJzeren Hek (The Iron Gate). Workers lived here in small houses, often with only one toilet for all residents.
The quarters were once owned by the Old Annunciation Monastery. Two gateposts lead to the narrow footpath that provides access to the houses. Today, it's a charming piece of heritage that recalls the daily life of Aalst workers in times gone by.
