The Molenbeek valley was formed by centuries of flow with the water of the Molenbeek. This stream originates from a seepage area (seepage is rising groundwater) east of the residential area of Boechout. From here, the water flows eastwards towards Vremde, to then join a second Molenbeek in Broechem and thus flow into the Kleine Nete. This also creates an important connection with the nature reserve of the Kleine Nete valley. This ensures that many species that have found a suitable habitat are not isolated and have more chances of further spreading, from and to the valley. During its course through the valley, the stream cuts through a fairly open landscape with damp meadows, stream-accompanying forests and wood edges. In the thirteenth century, the impetus was given to build an abbey. After a few years, this construction was stopped, but traces of it can still be found if you enter the nature reserve via the Abdijweg.
