Tips from the Community
The Dikken van Pamel is a beacon in Pamel along the Dender river, a mammoth of a landmark.

It's said that a man once passed through Pamel who was so tall and heavy that he defied the boundaries of the ordinary. Victor De Klerck, almost two meters tall and weighing, according to some, up to three hundred kilos, early on became a figure whispered about rather than spoken. On hot summer days, he would slide into the Dender River, and anyone who saw him swore he floated as if the river itself carried him. Passing boatmen carried the story along, and with every bend in the towpath, it became a little more fantastical. On Sundays, he appeared in church, where he needed three chairs—a figure that, generations later, still whispers through the village. And yet, despite his mythical stature, he stubbornly refused every circus director who wanted to exhibit him. As if he knew that some riddles are not meant for the public. Today, his statue stands by the Dender, not as certainty but as a question mark. A quiet reminder that sometimes, only one river flows between fact and fiction.

There are transverse (slow-down) ridges across the road. Annoying.

In the Rustberg is the supporters' club of cycling hero and Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel. When Remco Evenepoel is racing, you know that this supporters' café is packed to enjoy memorable moments on the big screen. Here they are proud of their protégé. So proud that a mural of Remco adorns the outside of the café and that Palmaremco is displayed in the parking lot, an illuminated monument where cycling tourists can also park their bikes.
