Today, the path simply continues along the Vliet and the Kleine Molenbeek streams to the N16. From the intersection of the N16 with the Grote Amer and the Eikevlietbaan, you can now walk along unpaved paths and largely along the water to Eikevliet.

Update August 1, 2025: The walking path has been relocated to the banks of the Vliet River.
During our last visit, on July 30, 2021, to Hof van Seghers "Dijkbreukwandeling Ruisbroek 1976," we discovered that the new owner had closed the walking path (whether legally or illegally). There was no sign prohibiting the walk anywhere.
Nevertheless, it's worth visiting this location to experience the surroundings from a distance and delve into the past.

The Hof van Seghers was built in the traditional Brabant style of the 18th century.
The house, together with the accompanying cross barn, were used as an agricultural and commercial exploitation.
Between the building and the Vliet was a chill or water inlet with a loading and unloading quay. It was a place where river ships transported city manure, coal and lime.
Today the water inlet has disappeared. But if you look closely you can still see the markings of the 'chilly' in the landscape.
