How to get here
Kruishoutem is located between Ghent and Kortrijk, just about 30 minutes from the French border. On the E17, take exit 6 and drive towards the center of Kruishoutem. You can park at the back of the European Cartoon Center or in the center of the town. Alongside the town hall runs a path that brings you to the René D’huyvetterstraat (a 5-minute walk).
The most accessible train stations are located in Oudenaarde, Deinze, and Waregem. With the public bus of ‘De Lijn’, you can also reach Kruishoutem by bus from these stations on Sundays. Get off at the Nieuw Plein bus stop. From there, it's a 5-minute walk to the ECC
