Tips

Dominiek Van Dooren

April 25, 2026

Hiking

Northeast of the church, near the beginning of Reedijk, a park was created in 2003, called ‘Paardenwater’. This name refers to the presence between the 13th and 18th centuries of a ford for horses and cows, among other things before they continued for a delivery of grain to the nearby water mill. In the center is a monument designed by Alexander Jansen of Stakka Concepts, which was inaugurated on April 30, 2003. The bronze elements in the monument refer to the Merchtem stilt walkers.
