The Humbeek-Sas lift bridge is a classic metal lift bridge that spans the Brussels–Scheldt Sea Canal in Humbeek, a sub-municipality of Grimbergen. Built in 1968, it is one of three identical lift bridges on the canal, along with: Brielen Bridge (Tisselt) Verbrande Bridge (Grimbergen) All three share the same dimensions: 38.4 m long and 11.6 m wide.

Perhaps you've already spotted a small tower from afar, proudly rising above the greenery and the Rupeldijk. The tower belongs to Den Bocht Castle, situated in a bend in the Rupel River. However, this small castle wasn't the first structure on this site. A 16th-century map already shows two moated farms: De Bocht Farm and the old stone fortress Steendere, which some even believe dates back to Roman times. Remnants of this can be recognized as a large body of water just behind the Rupeldijk.

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.

The bridge has been remotely operated from the central control post of Waterwegen en Zeekanaal Willebroek since January 2009.

The Baggemolen was already mentioned in a 1683 census, but it must be much older. The area around the Baggemolen may be the earliest inhabited center of Wolvertem, due to its elevation and the presence of abundant springs. The watermill was a forced mill where neighboring farmers were forced to have their grain ground. (Information board on site)

A place of reflection on the madness of war. A monument commemorates the unnecessary victims who perished under their own fire. Information boards on the site provide insights into the tragedy.

The Baggemolen is a grain watermill on the Molenbeek stream, first mentioned in 1683. The area surrounding the Baggemolen is considered the earliest inhabited settlement in Wolvertem due to its elevation and the abundance of water. The watermill was a forced mill, or compulsory mill, where neighboring farmers were forced to have their grain ground. Did you know: the saying "being under ban" originated here.
