Hiking

Meanwhile, beautifully overgrown. You are not allowed in, you can only look. Nature and Forest is active here and it is a protected area with a role in water management.

Hiking

Here the Mombeek meanders (again) through the landscape. By straightening and deepening streams in the past, the landscape was confronted with excessively rapid water drainage, desiccation, flooding and loss of biodiversity. Here the focus is again on stream structure restoration and they allow the streams to meander again. The ponds with swamps drain the water slowly and thus flood in places where it is not a nuisance. This allows water to slowly penetrate into the soil.

Hiking

On this spot stood the 14th-century Harenmolen, also known as Piringenmolen. The mill building was completely demolished in 1968. The last remnants of masonry disappeared in 2014 due to the excavation work for the installation of a collector on the Mombeek. During this work, a number of fragments of late medieval pottery and a copper or bronze mouth harp from the late Middle Ages or early modern period were also unearthed.
