Kanegem

In the bend by the church, a familiar Flemish figure is indeed waiting for you, on his bicycle no less: Briek Schotte, 'with a sturdy head and strong legs and limbs on his body, with which he could pull harder than others on his handlebars,' as it is written. This true Flandrien is here with a hunched back on his bike, ready to cycle against the booming wind across the flat Flemish countryside. Leave Briek alone soon, so he can also encourage the other cyclists along this route.
Kanegem is also proud of its fame as a flower municipality. On the other side of the impressive church, which is rightly called the 'cathedral of the land' and seems a size too large for this village, there stands a small monument with all the honorary awards and mentions that the village has garnered for its floral splendor—a roll of honor nearly as long as that of Briek Schotte.
