Zottegem

Tucked into the rolling Flemish Ardennes of East Flanders, Zottegem is a town whose character is shaped by undulating farmland, wooded slopes and a network of country roads. Though it lies in Dutch-speaking Belgium, the town sits in a landscape markedly hillier than much of Flanders, making it a familiar base for cycling routes through the region. Zottegem is closely linked to Lamoral, Count of Egmont, the 16th-century nobleman executed in Brussels; the Egmont Crypt beneath the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption preserves this connection. The town’s Egmont Castle and surrounding park add another reminder of that local legacy.
