Description
Walk through the Scheldemeersen and the former willow plantations of Zingem. Willow twigs were made into 'wannen': flat baskets to separate the wheat from the chaff. Someone who patched up broken walls was called a 'wannenlapper'. Pass Meuleken 't Dal, the smallest windmill in East Flanders.
The Wannenlappers walking route is offered to you by Routen, an initiative of Tourism East Flanders.
