Tips

On the backrest of the rest bench there is a short text that explains the name of the nearby forest: the Wannelappersbos.

In three lines (one sentence) you will be given a number of old Flemish words:

“A winnower braids and mends

winnowing with erasing or wimping

grown in Wijmeniers or Wiedeuwen."

A wan is a (flat) woven basket with which farmers separated wheat from chaff (for the people of Ghent: cf. the name of the - now taken over and renovated - public café on the corner of HeiligKerst/'t Seleskest: De Wan).

Wissen or Wijmen are willows, the flexible one-year-old willow shoots used to weave baskets.

A Wijmenier or a wiedauw is a place where wicker grows.

Extensive information about the old basket-making craft, including an interesting video, can be found at enamemijndorp.com/2018/03/08/mandenmakers-van-wijmen-tot-mand.
