From the window of the restaurant, you will be able to see a huge tower of 49 stacked bronze heads, facing the sea. Alright, said like that, it's a bit odd… But the sculpture Tower by Thomas Lerooy, it’s much more than that: like a child stacking cubes, the artist stacks heads and symbolises listening, compromise, and the need for others 👤

📍Zegemeer lake, Knokke-Heist – BE
And why not take a walk around the lake after this hearty meal? A chance to see an aquatic show of giant crabs 🦀 The Swaying Crabs or Wuivende Krabben (als je Nederlands spreekt) consists of six giant crustaceans, with open claws, set on three stainless steel islets.
In short, it floats, it dances, it sparkles, and it is signed Panamarenko 🪩
