A kid-friendly nature walk to the Wijngaardberg. Rows of fruit orchards adorn the hilltop, and you’ll walk down its slope among the grapevines. The Moedermeule is an authentic grain mill dating from 1667 that originally stood in Mechelen but was rebuilt here, stone by stone and plank by plank.
Before you set out: Follow the junction markers of the Hageland Hills and Valleys Hiking Network or the signs with a blue diamond.
