Grove owned by Paul Kellens, author of historical adventure stories for youth and librarian in Herzele ("De Wattenfabriek). He initially makes it freely available to mountain bikers, but as a walker it is also nice to leave the Old Tram Track here and follow the path through the forest, of course following the owner's request to treat nature with respect and to contribute to the safety of MTB riders.

Fact: "Wijmenier" is the name of an old craft: the harvesting of young willow branches (wijmen) by basket weavers.
