About cats and ghosts

Folk tales are hip. They capture the imagination and add color to local history. Sagas and legends also expose the sensitivities in the world of the past. They tell us about the fears and dreams of previous generations, about their values and norms. Because folk tales are passed on orally from generation to generation, their telling is closely related to the use of the traditional dialect.

The heritage cell of Dijk92 wants to prevent the telling of folk tales from being forgotten and age-old stories from being lost. That is why they are fully committed to the inventory and disclosure of local and regional folktales. Via 3 cycle loops in the region, you can listen to some gems of stories in the local dialect. The route 'About cats and ghosts' runs through Buggenhout, Dendermonde, Hamme and Lebbeke.
