Silent walk Willem Elsschot

Willem Elsschot always had a connection with Blauberg. As a little boy, he spent his vacations there, and later in life he regularly visited his family and friends there with his wife and children. His own life ultimately inspired his literary work.

Starting at the Mie Maan inn, you will discover the nature and tranquility of Helschot, the forest where Elsschot loved to walk and where he found inspiration for his pen name.

On this walk, you can use the app to listen to three of Elsschot's favorite poems, read by Martine Tanghe.
