Description
The narrow Molenbeek Valley on the border between Veltem-Beisem and Erps-Kwerps is part of the Green Valley. You’ll walk through a landscape of grasslands, forests, and open water. With a little luck, you might spot a kingfisher. You’ll pass the only remaining watermill on the Molenbeek. As early as 1356, there was a watermill on the site where the Heersem Mill now stands. The oldest parts of the current mill complex date back to the 15th century.

Sunday, November 16, 2025 by Peggy Goovaertswet hike - part of trail is flooding after 2 weeks of rain. On Sunday you have to take in the screams of children playing (youth movement). A beautiful area!

Monday, April 12, 2021 by P.N.In 2 places we had to search for the signs and at a certain moment we found a sign with a pole that had been thrown on the ground ... at least 300 meters further on ... so we made 2 serious mistakes.The beginning of the walk was very swampy ... and it hadn't rained much.

Saturday, April 11, 2020 by C.A.nice forest walk , with a reasonable stretch of concrete between 804 and 803.
The beginning of the hike on Church Street not clearly marked. The 802 figure is first found quite a ways down Church Street at the beginning of the hiking trail.
Determined according to my smartphone that the walk is not 4 but 5 km.
