Icon description route Description

Was it the landscape that inspired composer August De Boeck (1865-1937)'s elegant, sometimes dreamy melodies? His home village of Merchtem? Either way, he was a master of tonal art and a beloved village figure. This walk passes buildings and places that played a role in the tone poet's life. Along the way, eleven information signs will you tell his story and unravel the connection to his native village. An obligatory stop: the August De Boeck Museum in the former house of the village's principal.

This walk is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant and the municipality of Merchtem.

Wednesday, August 19, 2020 by GILBERTE DE BLOCKTook this hike today. In the beginning the hike did go a lot in the center of Merchtem. After a long time we walked in the middle of nature, and we like that better. At the end of junction 408 we didn't find junction 4 and we continued the hike along the way.
