    FIRST DEMER MEETING : FLAT FLOOR ON THE HEMMEKES

    At five places along the Demer you will discover unique meeting places where you can relax and where you can leave your bike or car to explore the region.
    All places have something to do with the Demer's past.

    The flat bottom at the Hemmekes in Zichem was completed as the first meeting point.
    You can walk into the boat from the dike via a footbridge and have a nice picnic there.

    The four other Demer meeting places can be found in Werchter, Diest, Betekom and Langdorp.

    Another special feature is that there is a footpath across the boat. :-)

    One of the five Demer meeting places was placed at the Hemmekes Meeting Center in Zichem.
    Board an authentic, handmade flat boat from the 19th century.
    The flat boats transported, among other things, hay for the royal horses from Zichem to Brussels.
    Get your refreshments out on the picnic table above deck.
    Also discover the four other meeting places along the Demer in Diest, Betekom, Werchter and Langdorp.
