Domain Blaarmeersen

About this audio guide

This guide to Domain Blaarmeersen in Ghent follows a dentist in running shoes and the one slope near the city where he could train for climbing. It reaches back to the late nineteen-seventies, when marshy meadows along the Leie became a lake, a beach and a hill built from the leftover soil. Along the way you'll hear about the trails in America that made his name. Best heard at the foot of the hill, with the lake behind you.
