For Belgians one of the main traditions is to go snow skating as a family, due to this the winter splendor implemented a large ice rink, the ice rink is artificial that floats on Lake Minnewater (the lake of love) and it´s decorated and illuminated. And if there are people who don´t like ice skating there is a bar called Vorst and its views over the ice rink are fantastic, inside the bar you can enjoy a delicious drink or some food, because the bar is a side of the ice rink you can be watching your children from the bar.
