    Here he is the legendary Bobbejaan Schoepen. His most famous and successful song is "See ik de lichtjes van de Schelde", released in 1952, which is known to almost every Fleming. Bobbejaan is also the founder of the amusement park 'Bobejaanland'. The amusement park was officially opened on December 31, 1961.

    Today, many day trippers still enjoy this amusement park where Bobbejaan proudly greets his guests posthumously on his soaring horse from Midnight (= Horse from Zorro).

    Nice to look up to an enterprising and versatile artist with a great sense of entertainment.
