Description by the author

This one-hour recreational walk takes you to one of Ghent's top spots: the Klein Begijnhof. And Ghent alone does not consider it a top spot, because it is on the list of UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Tip: eat your bone hams on a bench on the lawn of the Klein Begijnhof.
