The municipality of Lokeren is the second most important city in Belgium. Earlier the area was prominent for rabbit hair cutting and slaughterhouses, but the municipality has emerged as an economical and cultural center. It has a number of landmarks like Sint-Laurentius church, Sint-Lodewijks college, Molsbroek nature area and also several art galleries and museums. Tourists can enjoy the regional specialty of horse sausages during their visit.
