The name Molenveld refers to a dead-end road leading to the Terlaemen ponds, behind which, on a side path off Terlaemenlaan, a bit off the street, a (protected) watermill stands in a wooded setting. More about the mill on the Laambeek stream, after which this beautiful patch of wetter forest is named, can be found at inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/22530

Molenveld Forest is a mixed forest of deciduous and coniferous trees, originally planted but developing spontaneously. Further within the forest lie the Terlaemen ponds, created by the extraction of iron ore and iron sandstone and fed by the Laambeek and Echelbeek streams.
