Guided walk - Discover the hidden story of Geraardsbergen

Geraardsbergen … you immediately think of the Wall, cycling, and mattentaarten (local tarts). But did you know that this city tells a completely different story? During this guided walk, we will take you through the lesser-known, industrial past of Geraardsbergen. Once, this was the place for the production of matches , and that history still lives on in the landscape today. Think of the vast poplars that still grow here and the authentic workers' cottages that bear witness to a hard but fascinating past. And does the name Leonie Van Den Dijck still ring a bell? Discover her story and so much more along the way… Come along and be surprised by a side of Geraardsbergen you didn't know yet! Practical: You can buy tickets online. The walk is 5.5 km long and starts at the information point in the central part of the domain (right next to the Gaversbad). The walk is not accessible by wheelchair or stroller.
