Brasschaat's nickname
The starting point of this route is on the edge of Brasschaat. 'Kapittelmakers' is the nickname of the inhabitants of this place and that immediately explains the name of this route. Brasschaat was once a poor hamlet that belonged to Ekeren. At the time, the residents of Brasschaat gathered branches. They chopped those branches into small pieces and sold them as firewood and logwood to the wealthier population of Ekeren. This is how the inhabitants of Brasschaat got their name. Cycle through the park landscape and green areas around Brasschaat and enjoy the nature around you. Between Brasschaat and Maria-ter-Heide you cycle through the beautiful De Inslag Domain Forest.
