AzureAnton Van Wilderodepad
Anton Van Wilderode (1918-1998) was a translator, essayist but above all a popular and prolific Flemish poet whose verses almost constantly reach a high level.
Many Flemings see it as a monument.
Of himself, he says, "I am an ordinary person."
Beersel awarded him honorary citizenship in 1990.
The starting points with our municipality are spread over time and throughout the territory: between his first encounter with Alsemberg where he came on pilgrimage from Moerbeke-Waas by bike at the age of 14 in the Onze-Lievevrouwekerk and the recent publication of the bibiographical collection "Een plek van louter klaarte", whose paper was recovered in the Herisemmolen, There have been many literary and other contacts with the congregation.
However, the connections with the municipality of Beersel are spread over the territory in such a way that the walking route has been divided into two loops.
Each time, the starting and ending point is in the Rondenbos estate where the poet has become "our honorary citizen": the honor is rather for the municipality of Beersel!
A place of simple clarity.
A writer's journey in a poetic landscape; a verse of the honorary citizen in a place of simple clarity, the name that was also given to the poetry room of the municipal library of Beersel;
Nature and poetry;
A resting point that brings reflection;
The world of the poet;
How he lives our region, loves it...
Enjoy the combination of all this beauty.
