Pecsteen Castle Ruddervoorde
Highlight • Castle
Be aware: don't walk on the domain: some severe warnings (style Monty Python) 'Wolfijzers en schietgeweren' ('Iron Wolf and rifles') are written on plates, pending on the trees at the entrance.
The main raison why you should pass over here is because of the pittoresque road through the domain, shortcut from the city to the highway E401. It is very quiet and you often see and hear a lot of local birds and if you are happy a deer family.
