Icon description route Description

As far back as the Middle Ages, the Molenbeek, the Sassenbeek, and the Kraaiwinkelbeek fed the reservoir ponds of the Gempemolen. The history of this protected watermill dates back to the 13th century, and today it serves as a cozy brasserie in the Troostemberg Forest. From here, you’ll walk onto the plateau between Sint-Joris-Winge and Lubbeek, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Hageland landscape.

Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual hiking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the hexagonal red-and-white signs bearing the name of the hike.
Please note: The small bridge over the Kraaiwinkelbeek between junction points 238 and 549 is in very poor condition and therefore extremely dangerous. No specific plans for repairs have been made yet.

Sunday, April 12, 2026 by M.J.The ponds and the sunken road in Sassenbroek were beautiful, but the little bridge still hasn't been repaired.

Tuesday, November 11, 2025 by N.L.Anno 2025, this hike is virtually inaccessible because the bridge has collapsed. Because of strong currents, it is impossible to pass here.

Tuesday, March 8, 2022 by V.M.Wonderful start from the Gempemolen, through the forest, hollow roads, over bridges. Then followed by paved field roads, quiet, with beautiful views. 2 x busy road crossing. Clear signage.

Saturday, November 7, 2020 by lieve de brabandereA beautiful region indeed. Only, the walk is interrupted from the beginning because some selfish (rich) citizens have usurped the road for their horse pastures. You can't continue from the Boterveldstraat! So you have to turn right around and take the Kareelweg, which brings down the whole hike.

Tuesday, October 20, 2020 by Luc WullaertBeautiful walk with nice views. Lost the route though..... sign missed or disappeared ? Then after some searching I switched to a hike from natuurpunt (Spicht). After more than an hour of wandering we got back on the Sassenbeek trail. We'll try again soon ;-)

Monday, August 17, 2020 by A.B.Nice walk, alternating forest-field and concrete roads. On some pictures the name (Sassenbeek) is very unclear or not present at all.
