The Denderbrug in Zandbergen is a wondrous mechanism that would rather belong in a lesson about industrial archaeology. However, the bridge still works wonderfully and actually forms a tourist attraction for the village.
The bridge in Zandbergen has Aalst roots. In 2004, the iron Zeebergbrug was dismantled in Aalst and moved to Zandbergen, where it replaced the then rather rickety bridge over the Dender.

De Ontvoering van Europa Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The artwork "The Kidnapping of Europa" was installed on Congo Mountain in Vollezele in the summer of 2023. The artist, Koenraad Tinel, has lived in Vollezele for over 25 years and is an honorary citizen of Galmaarden.
It is one of his largest artworks, 8 meters long and 9 meters tall. It weighs 2.5 tons and is made of bronze. It depicts Princess Europa sitting on a swimming bull. It is an artwork of hope. Koenraad Tinel continues to believe that a united Europe remains the best guarantee for peace and brotherhood.

Paddenbroek Countryside Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

The Paddenbroek Country Center, located at the foot of the Kesterheide in Gooik and along the old tram bed, is a unique project where old and new come together. The centre, which is located on the site of an old country farm, is a beautiful example of architecture and offers a range of educational and recreational opportunities. The center has five strong pillars: agriculture, nature, sustainability, tourism/recreation and regional identity. In the gardens you will find a standard orchard with about 200 fruit trees, a pool, an ecological vegetable garden, small fruit labyrinth, a restored oven and a bee hall1. The center also offers space for seminars, workshops and meetings. The Paddenbroek Rural Center is a valuable addition to the cultural and historical heritage of the region.
