크네셀라레‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 천연기념물

숲지기가 당신의 하이킹 중에 나타날 때 살아 움직이도록, 좀 더 이야기가 담긴 더 부드러운 버전을 소개합니다: 케이가트보스의 숲지기 – 이야기가 있는 예술 케이가트보스 깊숙한 곳에는 특별한 숲지기가 지키고 서 있습니다. 그의 위풍당당한 망토, 긴 수염, 그리고 어깨 위의 작은 다람쥐는 그를 거의 동화 속 등장인물처럼 보이게 합니다. 하지만 이것은 수백 년 된 숲의 전설이 아니라, 특별한 이야기가 담긴 예술 작품입니다. 우크라이나 예술가 이리나 아키모바는 코로나 기간 동안 숲의 죽은 나무 그루터기를 작업하기 시작했습니다. 그녀는 자신의 전기톱으로 거친 나무를 놀라운 숲의 형상으로 바꾸어 놓았는데, 이는 하이커들에게 경이로움과 위안을 주는 순간을 선사하기 위한 것이었습니다. 하지만 2020년 10월, 불행이 닥쳤습니다. 그녀의 이전 목각 조각품 중 하나가 잔인하게 잘려 도난당했습니다. 그러나 이리나는 좌절하지 않았습니다. 예술품 도난에 대한 대응으로 그녀는 2020년 말 이 새로운 기념비적인 숲지기를 창조했습니다. 그의 상징적인 임무는 무엇일까요? 숲을 지키는 것입니다. 이 조각품은 튼튼한 나무 그루터기에서 직접 잘라내 만들어졌습니다. 보이는 나무결, 거친 질감, 그리고 자연 환경은 마치 숲지기가 항상 이곳에 속해 있었던 것처럼 느끼게 합니다. 그러니 케이가트보스를 걷다가 갑자기 이 나무 숲지기를 보게 된다면, 잠시 자세히 살펴보세요. 이 작품 뒤에는 훌륭한 장인 정신뿐만 아니라 창의성, 역경, 그리고 회복력에 대한 이야기가 숨겨져 있습니다.

The herb garden is located at the rear of the castle, opposite the entrance to the visitor center. It is accessible via the stairs or the ramp next to the restrooms. This unique herb garden is open to the public from sunrise to sunset. (Province of West Flanders)

The (historical) Scheepsput can be found in the beautiful green Sint-Pietersveld. You would hardly believe it, but this well was dug in the mid-19th century to build a three-master. The large sailing ship served as a training ground for the sailors of a reform school in the area (now Community Institution De Zande). The pond was given the name 'Het Schip', but was transformed by the local population into the Scheepsput.

Not accessible only on Heritage Day.

The Ganzeveld is a 33 hectare nature reserve in Aalter (Belgian province of East Flanders). The mosaic landscape in the south of the Bulskampveld consists of forests (28 hectares), old beech avenues and a number of open meadows (5 hectares). The nature reserve has been managed by Natuurpunt since 2012. Additional forest was planted in November 2019. In the Ganzeveld, typical species of nutrient-poor forests (with pedunculate oak, silver birch and planted American oak), such as holly, wild honeysuckle, common heather and broom, flourish. Spork, rowan, strawberry and pill sedge grow in the herbaceous layer. Deer, squirrel, buzzard, nuthatch and black woodpecker live in the Ganzeveld. A 2 kilometer long signposted path runs through the Ganzeveld. Source: Wikipedia

Small and only a forest managed by Natuurpunt for over ten years with rich vegetation. A limited zone is being cleared to further increase biodiversity through heathland restoration. The walking loop through the forest has been baptized "The Woodpecker Route". The Ganzenveld is also the birthplace of Aalter.

There used to be a hof van plaisance (country house) here, which was depicted in 1755 in the middle of a park, which even contained an amphitheater. In 1894 the castle was rebuilt according to a design by Achille Marchand. The park was laid out in the English landscape style at the end of the 19th century. A pond, an ice cellar with a pavilion above it have been built. There are also bridges, a boathouse and a cave. There are three monumental chestnut trees, including possibly the thickest chestnut tree in Belgium. The castle was built in an eclectic style and made of brick and bluestone. The hall is decorated with sgraffito. In addition to the castle, there is a staff house with stables and a coach house with horse stables. These buildings also date from 1894. (according to Wikipedia)
