Archaeological museum of Velzeke
Archaeological museum
👍👍 The Caesar celebrations take place once every 25 years.
The Roman warriors enter the village in procession and occupy the area (in peace this time).
Impressive spectacle for history lovers.
The actors fully empathize and are happy to explain the lifestyle of the Gaul or Roman they revive.
Beautiful...

Onze-Lieve-Vrouw en Sint-Pieterskerk van Gent
Catholic church
👍👍 A big church which you can see from the giant square in front. Worth seeing if you're around. The funny fact was that there was an culture event inside rather than a mass - which is cool.

Natuurpunt Damvallei
Nature preserve
👍👍 Een heel goed onderhouden, mooi natuurgebied(je). Wij deden de Damvalleiwandeling, een 9km. Zeker een aanrader in de lente, met pinksterbloemen en jonge vogels overal. Als het geregend heeft, zorg je best voor laarzen op dit pad.
