This gravel path was named after Jonas Vlayen, a 23-year-old man who was stabbed in the driveway of his home in Budingen in 2018. At the bridge, you can read words of comfort, so that everyone who passes by remembers Jonas. A beautiful path where you can find peace in the stunning landscape.

Taking a break at the chapel...

At the entrance to the church stands a war memorial. The church is not freely accessible, but visitors can usually find a place in the entrance hall where they can light a candle at the statue of the Virgin Mary. On the perimeter wall, between the church and the rectory, stands a small statue with an explanatory sign depicting 'The Alverman'. The statue is by Mia Preuveneers, the wife of an alverman. It depicts an alverman in his typical workman's uniform, sitting on a tree stump and stirring a butter pot. More information can be found on the sign. Quite a special highlight, indeed—and a reason to take a stroll through the center of Wommersom.

The church of Wommersom, on the right bank of Geta, is first mentioned in 1036 in the foundation act of the Chapter of Incourt in Walloon Brabant. Among the various properties with which the new chapter was endowed was "Wolmeris, cum dimidia ecclesia, que jacet in comitatu Brunengurt." From 1241 onwards, the patronage and tithes were held by the Abbey of Vrouwenpark in Rotselaar. In 1635, the church and rectory were destroyed by fire. The church was rebuilt during the 17th century, while the rectory was not completed until around 1776, during the reign of Pastor Antoine Lamal (1774-1805). Due to its dilapidated condition, the decision was made in the 19th century to build a new church. Count t’Serclaes de Wommersom, then governor of Limburg, agreed to make a significant contribution to the costs in exchange for two acres of land in the churchyard for the construction of a family cemetery. The foundation stone was laid on April 25, 1863, in the presence of Count Théodore Emile t’Serclaes de Wommersom, and the official inauguration took place on March 24, 1865. Presumably during the same period, the church and rectory were enclosed from the street side with a wrought-iron fence with brick pillars, now largely removed except for a few fragments.

Everything has been beautifully restored except for the old mill section, but according to a local, the bar and other commercial activities have already closed, which is a bit of a shame. Still, I keep passing by when I'm in the area.

Nice spot to take a break. Roofed benches and tables.

Nice, quiet, nice straight web between the fields
