    Hiking

    This path along the Molenbeek stream is part of the Jan De Lichte walk in Zottegem. This is a beautiful nature walk through a peaceful setting. You can discover the truth about Jan De Lichte yourself through information kiosks along the way. They tell his life story, from his birthplace in Velzeke to his robberies and gruesome death.

    Lovely beautiful path through the forest, along the bank of the Molenbeek, a side stream of the Zwalmbeek.
    This segment is part of the Jan De Lichte path, a 9.6 km walking loop named after the legendary gang leader who was active in this region in the first half of the 18th century.
