Description
The painter Eugène Laermans (1864–1940) had a special connection to Wemmel. He lived there as a student and witnessed a drowning victim being carried away along the white wall between St. Servatius Church and the rectory. This made such an impression on him that the wall appears in several of his works. This walk is both a tribute to him and a tour of the municipality’s most beautiful spots. These include the listed town hall, the Beverbos nature reserve, and the centuries-old farmsteads of Klein Amelgem and Groot Amelgem.

Sunday, May 24, 2020 by L.B.Fascinating walk, if you like the combination of lots of money and bad taste: the walk takes you past endless residential areas with spiteful villas, high hedges and the occasional Ferrari in the driveway. In the more than an hour we had to pass through this, we were passed three times! we were passed by a police patrol: these villas are very well guarded. For those who don't like this folly, it's largely a very boring walk, not counting a few shorter sections (Beaver Woods, the part high along the ring road).
