테르 에르펜베이크(Ter Erpenbeek, Arpia) 위의 작은 다리는 이곳에서 레세겜(Ressegem)과 부브레흐테겜(Woubrechtegem) 마을 사이의 경계를 이룹니다. 이 다리는 수세기 동안 샤페브룩셰(Schapenbrugje)라는 이름으로 알려져 왔습니다. 원래는 라에크하우트(Hof te Raeckhout, Ressegem) 농장의 양들이 부브레흐테겜(Woubrechtegem)의 아헤임스펠트(Aaigemsveld) 목초지로 풀을 뜯으러 가던 길에 이용하던 판자로 만든 단순한 다리였습니다. 강둑 왼쪽에 있던 큰 농장은 18세기 말에 사라졌고, 이와 함께 다리의 원래 기능도 사라졌습니다. 그 후에도 이 보행자 다리는 두 마을 사이의 들길에서 중요한 역할을 계속했습니다. 아이들은 다리 위에서 직접 만든 낚싯줄을 던지거나 졸졸 흐르는 물에서 가시지느러미고기를 찾곤 했습니다. 이제 샤페브룩셰(Schapenbrugje)는 하이커와 산악자전거 이용자들에게 잘 알려진 장소가 되었습니다.

The Dikken van Pamel is a beacon in Pamel along the Dender river, a mammoth of a landmark.

It's said that a man once passed through Pamel who was so tall and heavy that he defied the boundaries of the ordinary. Victor De Klerck, almost two meters tall and weighing, according to some, up to three hundred kilos, early on became a figure whispered about rather than spoken. On hot summer days, he would slide into the Dender River, and anyone who saw him swore he floated as if the river itself carried him. Passing boatmen carried the story along, and with every bend in the towpath, it became a little more fantastical. On Sundays, he appeared in church, where he needed three chairs—a figure that, generations later, still whispers through the village. And yet, despite his mythical stature, he stubbornly refused every circus director who wanted to exhibit him. As if he knew that some riddles are not meant for the public. Today, his statue stands by the Dender, not as certainty but as a question mark. A quiet reminder that sometimes, only one river flows between fact and fiction.

Very stable. Protected by a wire mesh fence, so be careful with your pets' paws 🐾 Several benches are available

Ninove, which acquired city rights in the 14th century, was defended by a castle, a tower, and an earthen rampart, interrupted by four city gates. The gates provided access to the city via the four main approaches: the Brabantse Poort on the road from Brussels, the Geraardsbergse Poort on the road from the city of the same name, and the Kloosterpoort on the road from Aalst. The Koepoort provided access to the Nederwijk (hence also called Nederwijkpoort), the Kouter, and the Dendermeersen. In peacetime, all gates served as housing for the poor, a storehouse for powder and weapons, and a prison. By the end of the 18th century, three of Ninove's four city gates had been demolished. Where they once stood, you now find reminders: a fountain with two turrets (Brabantse Poort), a work of art (Geraardsbergse Poort), and two memorial stones (Kloosterpoort). The Koepoort's survival from demolition likely stems from the fact that it stood least in the way of the city's systematic expansion. The Koepoort, first mentioned in 1397 under the name "Warmoespoort," was completely rebuilt around 1600. It was constructed of sandstone from the quarries of Geraardsbergen and, after its restoration, officially served as the city prison. Because, unlike the other gates, it lacked a drawbridge, an earthen rampart was built around it in times of war. After its function as a city prison, the Koepoort successively housed the city's volunteer fire department and the library. It was then used as a venue for socio-cultural organizations. However, the ravages of time took their toll, and the building required a complete and thorough restoration, both interior and exterior.

This is an interesting statue, it has no head. Located on the edge of Pamel

This small place of worship on the Dender River has a turbulent history. According to tradition, it was founded as early as 681 by Saint Amand after the discovery of a miraculous statue. After repeated destruction and reconstruction, it was given its current, simple yet modern appearance in 1955-56, designed by Stani De Neef and Alfons Singelijn. A place that exudes simplicity, yet simultaneously breathes centuries-old devotion and tradition.
