The countryside around the castle of Wynendaele is very popular with cyclists and strollers. The landscape may not be very impressive, nor are the farms old and medieval, but the cornfields and meadows on the hillslopes, the copses here and there, and the ancient avenues bordered with knotted willow and linden trees are a real pleasure for the eyes. Before entering the silence of the Wynendaele forest I saw a farmer and his wife harvesting cauliflower. What can be a better treat after an autumn walk then a good cup of cauliflower soup!
