On the edge of the Latemse Meersen, everyone can now go to rest for a while with a view of nature. The place was created in memory of the Latem artist Etienne Van den Abeele, one of the driving forces behind the nature reserve. The seventy-year-old died in October 2021.

You will also find a poem here by Gisela Vansteenkiste, whose work can also be read on the wall of the Old Brewery in Latem-dorp.
