With its small size and rural location in the Hageland region, Zoutleeuw resembles a village, but its architectural heritage testifies to a grand past. Zoutleeuw's Grote Markt (Great Market Square) is a true gem. The Gothic town hall, built between 1530 and 1538, is clearly influenced by the burgeoning Renaissance. The adjacent Cloth Hall still bears witness to Zoutleeuw's prosperity and its important trading position. Come discover Zoutleeuw for yourself.

Spacious terraces invite you to relax. Children have a play area across the street.

Memorial for Deportees. This memorial was dedicated to the mother of Simon Gronowski, a lawyer and humanist. She placed her son, then 11 years old, a little further up the steps of the train car. His jump was the stepping stone to freedom and life. She continued her journey with her daughter until their deaths in the gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Historical interpretation of the major event: The 20th (XXth) train convoy took place in April 1943. The transport consisted of 1,630 Jewish prisoners from Camp Mechelen in Belgium. They were being transported to the Auschwitz concentration camp. Three young Belgian men forced the transport between Boortmeerbeek and Haacht to stop. 231 deportees managed to escape, of whom 115 remained on the run, 90 were recaptured, and 26 were shot during their escape. This was the largest operation to rescue Jews from a train to Auschwitz.

Wonderful chatting here...

The building has been beautifully renovated into a residence but retains many aspects of its past as a station. The old nameplates are clearly visible. Across the cycle path that runs along the former route, there's a picnic table and an information board about the Getelinie (and "the Great War"), titled and themed "Skirmishes at the Station."

Personally, it's not my cup of tea, far too monotonous. Okay, there are no cars, thankfully. But riders let their horses relieve themselves all along the Reval. And of course, without cleaning up! A real treat... on foot or by bike.

Frederik Vaes's Helixagon is one of eleven works installed as part of the "Fruitbeeldig Hageland" project. Quote: "With his work 'Helixagon,' Vaes combines two forms: the helix and the hexagon. He uses form to reference the symmetrical shapes of nature, including the honeycomb. Monique Swinnen, deputy for tourism: "A work of art that, through its playful form, invites walkers and cyclists to pause for a moment and admire the beautiful orchard view." You can find all the Fruitbeeldig works, including this one, at https://pers.vlaamsbrabant.be/fruitbeeldig-hageland And more about the work can be found on Vaes's website at https://frederikvaes.be/helixagon-2 – where you can read the following: "The Helixagon is a work of art composed of geometric forms and patterns that are central to nature. The hexagon and the helix are the basic elements. The hexagon refers to the carbon atom." The helix represents DNA. Two components essential for life."
