Description by the author

At the beginning of the walk, climb up the Cyriel Buyssepad between orchard and church. The Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens focuses on temporary exhibitions of modern art from home and abroad. Halfway up the Kasteeldreef you walk into the Rode Beukendreef, a double row of trees that seems to reach to the sky and used to belong to the local castle. In the former home and studio of the painter Edgard Gevaert, the Museum Gevaert-Minne, you will find work by just about all of Latem's greats.
