    Hiking

    From the bridge, you can see the waterwheel of the abbey mill. Opening the mill's sluice gate sets the wheel in motion. The mill has been restored in recent years, and today you can watch grain being ground here every third Sunday of the month.

    An old map shows that the mill wasn't just used for grinding grain. The waterwheel also powered a sawmill, and there was also a brewery, a bakery, a spinning mill, and a tannery – a true center of craftsmanship!

    Hiking

    Here you cross the Demer. The Demer rises in Ketsingen near Tongeren and flows into the Dijle at Werchter.
