Tips

June 7, 2025

Between Peer-centrum and the church villages of Kleine-Brogel and Wijchmaal lies Molhem, a virtually uninhabited area where peace and quiet reign. It is a unique nature reserve between the Dommel and the Peerderloop. A colourful variety of stream valleys, meadows, fields and forests forms the backdrop. It is this area that our distant ancestors chose to bury their loved ones.

Here on Molhem there are also 5 prehistoric burial mounds to be seen. These burial mounds are probably part of a burial field from the period 800 to 500 BC.

Not only in Peer but also in the church village of Grote-Brogel there is an extensive prehistoric burial field. In 1959 and 1960 archaeologists investigated 2 burial mounds on the Molhem and about 70 burial mounds in Grote-Brogel. The urns that were found are preserved and exhibited in the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren.
