Henri Roseleth (1859–1939) was a pioneer in the study of Hekelgem’s village history. He was also an avid nature lover and, on this walk, he’ll show you the village’s most beautiful spots. On the Molenberg, the oldest windmill towers over the village, and you’ll pass the stately farmsteads Hof ter Saele and the Blakmeershoeve. Along the way, you’ll enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Asse region and the Dender Valley.
