A forest path runs through the Schiplaken Estate. Don't forget to stop at Schiplaken Castle. It's an old medieval castle site with its characteristic high courtyard and farmyard. An information board on site provides further explanation.

The Eglegem Pond covers over 43 hectares and was created in the late 1960s as a sand extraction pit for the construction of the E19 motorway. During the winter, large flocks of waterfowl settle here, including shelduck, tufted duck, pochard, gadwall, grebe, coot, and black-headed gull. Eco-friendly bank and roadside management is being implemented around the Eglegem Pond.

Simply a pleasant and beautiful passage along the Dijle, where whining and complaining won't help... Enjoy it here or stay put...

Since 2005, the castle has been owned by entrepreneur Leon Van Rompay. Today, Ambroos Castle is protected as an architectural heritage site and remains a silent witness to Hofstade's past, surrounded by ponds, ancient trees, and a remnant of the original moat.

The Eglegem Pond, located between Hombeek and Zemst, is a beautiful nature reserve of over 40 hectares. Originally created as a sand extraction pit for the construction of the E19 motorway, the area has grown into a valuable quiet area with great ecological value. Today, it is managed by Natuur en Bos (Nature and Forests) and a magnet for hikers, nature lovers, and fishermen. The area is especially known as a wintering ground for waterfowl such as tufted ducks, grebes, and shelducks. Beavers have also recently taken up residence there. A 3-km walking path, recently renovated, runs around the pond. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and an off-leash area is provided. Fishing, stand-up paddleboarding, and sailing are permitted through recognized associations, but swimming and motorized water sports are prohibited. Thanks to targeted nature management and good water quality, this area remains a safe and peaceful place for both people and animals. An absolute must for those who want to unwind in nature.

As flat as a pancake!
