This shot of the back of Kasteel Gestelhof as seen from the banks of the river 'de Grote Nete' gives just a glimpse of the beauty of this place. The buildings we see closest to us are just the stables, the moated castle itself is in lovely local red brick, and is just seen peeping between the trees.

Title Translation: Along the River Grote Nete
North of Lier around Kessel there is a beautiful and unspoiled stretch of rural flemish landscape around the river 'de Grote Nete'. The river is constrained within high dykes, which also act as picturesque hiking trails.
The landscape is rural, not natural, but no less beautiful for it. In the distance on the horizon you can see the outskirts of the village of Bevel.
