Our town and neighbouring towns have cosy cafés serving coffee and the famous delicious beers. They can be easily reached by car or by bike. If you like to go a bit further, the railway station provides easy access to cities such as Brussels, Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Liège,... which are great cities to visit. These cities are also easily accessable via the motorway, which is only at 10' distance from our house.
On a beautiful day, we love to go for a long walk with the dog and end up in one of these cosy cafés to enjoy a lovely meal Belgian style (Steak, fries, pasta's, salads, wine, beer,...). One of the cosy places nearby is the active jenever brewery, that serves coffee and cake, wine and beers. It is filled with nostalgia and run by the owners of the brewery. In the summer time, the whole family pitches in, which makes it a warm place. Another nice place, especially for the children will be the dairy farm (Hoeve 't Alkenveld'), where they sell (a.o.) ice cream, made from the milk of the cows on the farm.
