Tips

October 14, 2023

Here on the Hobos estate you will find a sweet chestnut tree that was voted the most beautiful tree in Flanders in 2015 by the jury and the public in an election organized by Landelijk Vlaanderen, Landmax and the forest groups.

Apart from that, it is a beautiful tree that is part of a very old chestnut orchard that was created by the Clercx family at the end of the 18th century and where the chestnuts were probably used to flavor the gin that was distilled in the gin distillery next door. their home. Also take a walk around because there are still beautiful trees and a special hollow tree.
