Description
The narrow stream valley on the border of Veltem-Beisem and Erps-Kwerps is part of the Green Valley. Along the Molenbeek a rich strip of nature developed in a landscape of grasslands, forests and open water. If you are lucky, you may see the kingfisher in this oasis of tranquility. Further on your hike you will pass the only remaining water mill on the Mill Creek. As early as 1356 there was a water mill on the site where the Heersemolen stands today. The oldest parts of the current mill complex date from the 15th century.
This walk is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

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.
