The Mombeek flows via Zammelen, Wintershoven, Vliermaalroot and Wimmertingen to Sint-Lambrechts-Herk where it flows into the Herk after approximately 23 km. The Mombeek fed numerous watermills, such as the Croesmolen in Vliermaal, the Wintershovenmolen near the Desseneer farm in Wintershoven, the Rootmolen in Vliermaalroot, the Bombroekmolen (now no longer on the Mombeek due to the shifting of the riverbed) in Kortessem, the Luimertingenmolen in Kortessem and the mill near the castle of Mombeek between Rapertingen and Wimmertingen. In total there were 12 watermills on the Mombeek. The name of the stream is therefore a contraction of Molenbeek.
