Regionaal Landschap Pajottenland & Zenne

The challenges in terms of climate, spatial planning and biodiversity are enormous. Regional landscapes meet those challenges throughout Flanders by working on robust landscapes. They provide climate buffering, are biodiverse and offer space for food production and recreation. Anchored in the region and connected to municipalities, provinces, Flanders and Europe, landscapes connect regional partners and residents with the landscape and bring them together to shape that landscape in a contemporary and sustainable way.

The Regional Landscape cherishes the green Pajottenland and the blue Zenne Valley. Together with you, we provide an even more beautiful region to enjoy.

Metamorphoses on the walking paths with Koen Broucke

Launching a new international series ‘Anna and the Verwandelingen’, a sequel to the successful editions of ‘Anna and the Field Reports’, Anna Luyten will be chatting with historian, painter, performer, writer, pianist, doctor of arts, collector and walker Koen Broucke.  His walks lead him to unexpected encounters with history and art. For Broucke, walking is

corpse road

Also known as corpse way, coffin route, coffin road, coffin path, churchway path, bier road, burial road, lyke-way or lych-way. “Now is the time of night, That the graves all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide” – Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream. A path used in medieval times to take the dead from a remote parish to the ‘mother’ church for burial. Coffin rests or wayside crosses lined the route of many where the procession would stop for a while to sing a hymn or say a prayer. There was a strong belief that once a body was taken over a field or fell that route would forever be a public footpath which may explain why so many corpse roads survive today as public footpaths. They are known through the UK.
