Hiking

Every 'Flandrien' knows the Traaiberg and former cyclist Tom Boonen. During his professional career he managed to defy this 'calf breaker' several times. The 'Boonenberg' was his favorite climb. And that deserved a tribute. On top of the Traaienberg you will find a seating platform with a cast of Tom Boonen's legs on it. Maarkedal artist Thomas Huyghe designed the bronze statue. Tom Boonen himself was the model, the tattoos and scars on the bronze legs testify to this.

The pair of bronze legs on a concrete plinth at the top of the Taaienberg are a cast of Boonen's real legs. The statue was created by artist Thomas Huyghe and was unveiled at the end of January 2023.
