리에르드 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

콩고 산을 하이라이트로 아름다운 풍경

Beautiful nature reserve with many spring zones where a yellow sea of Marsh Marigolds can be seen in the spring.

A former watermill on the Watermolenbeek stream, formerly owned by the Van Der Stock miller family, who also owned windmills, including the Bellinckmolen in Deftinge. It remained operational until the mid-20th century, but then fell into disrepair due to its vacancy. The completely rusted paddle wheel disappeared. Only the weir and bridge span remain. During heavy rainfall, the stream becomes a roaring waterfall, but most of the time you'll be gazing at the rippling water as it continues its journey via Gemeldorp, Schendelbeke, and so on to the Dender River. This stream also forms the border between the sub-municipalities of Deftinge and Sint-Martens-Lierde. The street in both sub-municipalities had the same name, and this remained the case after the merger. The mill is said to have once belonged to the Carthusians of Sint-Maartens-Bos.

This is a sort of niche chapel in the side wall of a house with bars in front. This chapel is in urgent need of restoration. The mural is badly damaged.

The Municipality of Lierde, the Flemish Ardennes Regional Landscape, and Avansa have joined forces to transform a dull and gray square on Kwaadstraat in Sint-Martens-Lierde into a green oasis. The outline for the new design was drawn up with input from local residents, advisory councils, and nature conservation organizations. The new square has a dual purpose. On the one hand, it will enhance the area with greenery. On the other hand, it will be de-paved to allow rainwater to naturally infiltrate the ground. (Information board on site) The benches provide a resting place for walkers and cyclists.

beautiful and quiet walk in the green

The Lindeveldmolen is a watermill on the Watermolenbeek in Sint-Martens-Lierde in the Belgian municipality of Lierde in the Flemish Ardennes. The corn mill was already mentioned in 1243; it became the property of the priory of the Carthusians. The undershot mill was in operation until the 1960s.

You have arrived at a historical place as a (silent) visitor. In 1329, Jan Gheylinck founded the Carthusian priory of Sint Maartens Bos here. This councillor of the then Count of Flanders was very wealthy. From the entrance gate to the Carthusian you will discover a number of still visible historical relics. You can lie down between the flower beds and fantasise about what has disappeared. Walk around and take in the site. Also take a peek around the corner (back) because there is the Carthusian church, exceptional in this region with a Rococo interior. This church is actually the monastery chapel that was elevated to parish church in 1802. A little further, opposite the atmospheric cemetery, you will see the municipal library with the bronze Carthusian statuette by Dirk De Middeleer from 1995. The Carthusian walking route starts here. Before leaving the Kartuizer site it is recommended to enjoy a good 'Kartuizer beer', there is also Kartuizer liqueur (a green nectar of the gods, but very strong) - in café De Kartuizer ... Cheers!
