Two picnic tables overlooking the southern part of the Rozendaalbeek Valley, a small valley formed by a tributary of the Velpe River, named, you guessed it, Rozendaalbeek. The valley is approximately 70 hectares and lies between Sint-Maarten and Sint-Pieter (both Vissenaken). The Rozendaalbeek is a tiny stream that rises just outside Tienen on the northwest side in two amphitheater-shaped slopes. After just a few hundred meters, the two separate branches meet and together form the Roosdaalbeek, which is listed on military maps as the "Vlietende beek" (Flying Brook). It still meanders naturally here and there through the wet meadows. Old pollard willows once lined its entire length, but many of these characteristic landscape features have since disappeared. The stream finds its way to the Velpe River in an increasingly widening valley.

Take a look at https://www.natuurpunt.be/natuurinfo/paddenstoelen-families/paddenstoelenfamilie-wasplaten for these "orchids among mushrooms."

The Rozendaalbeek Valley, often mentioned in the same breath as Paddepoel (Velpe Valley), is a small valley formed by a tributary of the Velpe River, named—you guessed it—Rozendaalbeek. At the edge of the valley, on top of the slope, you'll find Natuur.huis De Gors, a nature center run by Natuurpunt Velpe-Mene, where there are often activities (including training courses). The valley itself is approximately 70 hectares and lies between Sint-Maarten and Sint-Pieter (both Vissenaken). The Rozendaalbeek is a tiny stream that rises just outside Tienen on the northwest side in two amphitheater-shaped slopes. After just a few hundred meters, the two separate branches meet and together form the Roosdaalbeek, which is listed on military maps as the "Vlietende beek" (Flying Brook). It still meanders naturally here and there through the wet meadows. Ancient pollard willows once lined its entire length, but many of these characteristic landscape features have since disappeared. The stream flows through an increasingly widening valley to the Velpe.

In this wetland nature reserve, you're never far from village centers and the highway, but be sure to take a look. Greet the Galloway people and don't forget the well of Saint Hymelinus of Vissenaken. His reliquary can be found in the parish church of Saint Martin, near De Gors and a path leading to the valley.

The pond, which has been there for years, has a small wooden platform for those who are interested, and is located near the small bridge over the stream once you've descended the paths leading to the higher village center. You are now at the same altitude as the road to Aarschot and can walk around the pond, which is connected to the meadows by the path. The Rozendaalbeek is a tiny stream that rises just outside Tienen on the northwest side in two amphitheater-shaped slopes. After just a few hundred meters, the two separate branches meet and together form the Roosdaalbeek, which is indicated on maps as the "Vlietende beek" (Flying Brook). Typical of the Rozendaalbeekvallei nature reserve is its secluded location between the two parishes of Vissenaken. Yet, you hardly notice this as you walk through the valley. The wet grasslands furthest downstream between Metselstraat and Hymelinusstraat, which were purchased first, are the most visible. The other plots are less well-known because they offer less visibility. Source and much more at http://www.velpe-mene.be/tienen/rozendaalbeekvallei.htm
