Small pilgrimage site near the Abbey of Westmalle. A small landscaped park on a dune in the woods.

The St. Anthony's Chapel is a chapel in the hamlet of Zalfen, located near Salphen, which is part of the Antwerp municipality of Malle. Nearby Oostmalle was hit by a plague epidemic around 1625. Around 60 sick people reportedly fled to the heath. A certain Adriaan Mattheeusen, who lost three children to the disease, had to bury them on the heath and built a chapel for this purpose. This chapel was soon also used for funeral services, and the deceased were buried in a nearby cemetery. The chapel attracted pilgrims and was therefore expanded in 1726. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint-Antoniuskapel_(Zalfen)

Pleasant cycling on that cycle path.

This canal is ideal for observing locks and taking great photos. It always reminds me a little of the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris – where there are also many locks in a very small area. Of course, they differ in their surrounding landscape.

De Maalderij is a striking building along the F15 Antwerp-Turnhout cycle highway, which follows the towpath along the Dessel-Schoten canal. The building was renovated in 2012 and has been home to the Bolckmans Group since 2018.

The F15 cycle highway (Antwerp-Turnhout) follows the towpath along the Dessel-Schoten canal and takes you past war bunkers at regular intervals.

A beautiful walking forest with straight paths that are easily accessible for strollers and wheelchairs. A diverse forest with rowan, spork, holly, hazel, and yew, among other trees. Fallen and dead trees are preserved, transforming into a mini-biotope teeming with life. The Anti-Tank Canal runs right through De Inslag. Shorebirds and waterfowl live around the Anti-Tank Canal, and with a bit of luck, you might spot the magnificent kingfisher and grey heron. The playground, picnic areas, and benches invite you to relax and enjoy.

The Scherpenbergmolen is a stone corn windmill, a mountain mill type, located on the northwest side of Antwerpsesteenweg (no. 378), on the corner of Tichelmanstraat. The name Scherpenbergmolen comes from the toponym Scherpenberg, while the vernacular referred to it as the "Stone Mill" (Stone Mill), because there was also a wooden mill in Westmalle. The mill was erected in 1843 by the brothers Joannes and Petrus Mullenbrück (Meulenbroeck) on their parents' property in the area of "De Jaentjes." The mill's construction site was designated as follows: "more than half an hour outside the customs line, 70 meters from the main Antwerp-Turnhout road and 45 meters from the local road Tichelmanstraat." Joannes and Petrus Mullenbrück were the sons of Christianus Mullenbrück, originally from Westphalia, Germany, who settled in the municipality of Westmalle in 1808 as a lime distiller. Joannes became a miller there, and his brother Petrus moved to Ossendrecht, the Netherlands, to also pursue the miller's trade.
