Piskapel" has been helping bed-wetters in Geetbets for years...

There is a saint among us for just about every problem. This is also the case in Geetbets. There, distraught parents of bed-wetting children can go to the 'Piskapel'. In other words, the Sint-Annakapel in the sub-municipality of Grazen. Erika Vanvuchelen from the Grazense gingerbread bakery lives nearby and knows all about it...

That happens a little less now, although you can see pieces of clothing lying around every now and then. That should prevent bedwetting. I've never had the problem myself, so I can't say whether it works (laughs). But just for the view from the chapel over Grazen, it's worth it worth a stroll through...
