    Hiking

    For the past two centuries, the Torhout/Lichtervelde region was known for the cultivation and processing of chicory. When adding chicory to coffee (yes, that's how it was done in my childhood at home) fell into disuse at the end of the 20th century, demand for chicory gradually declined.
    Chicory was dried by heating on asten (drying floors). Many asten have disappeared, others remain. Some are dilapidated, but a few have been renovated in recent years with respect for their history. This one here has been converted into housing.
