Ideal starting point for a walk to the nearby Voortberg (follow Bergstraat) from where you have a beautiful view of the village and the distant surroundings. From there you can go to De Demerbroeken (as close or far as you want) and back via a different route (see the information board in the photos that is located near the water mill).Heritage info: Water mill, formerly owned by the abbey of Averbode. Longitudinal building with heavy substructure of iron sandstone in regular bond.Front facade with a wide, profiled sandstone basket arch door under a facing stone with abbot coat of arms, slogan NE QUID NIMIS and the year 1618.North side facade, dated 1608 in the top by means of darker brick. South facade, along the Demer, of ironstone, brick and sandstone, partly covered in layers of bacon: possibly reused elements of the older core (15th-16th century), which was partly destroyed circa 1594. Well-preserved mill wheel. Complete restoration circa 1960.Source: inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/42766
