I am going to Puurs (outside Antwerpen) for one week in march and one week in may to attend a course. I think I have the late afternoons/evenings off, but I might be too mentally washed out to go see those places in Flanders I would like to see if I went there for an actual holiday.
I think I might visit Fort Breendonk, since it is close to the place where the course is held, and I am pretty interested in all kinds of WWI/WWII stuff and remains of the National Redoubt. I am also just looking for a nice place to have a good beer and some moussels n' fries or some waffles.
Any suggestions from people familiar with this part of Belgium?
May update: I am staying in Mechelen the second week, see my latest post
