The white village used to be called Mazenzele because it turned white in the spring due to the blooming cherry orchards. Here and there, you can still find traces of the old orchards. Explore the beautiful surroundings and walk via the Koutermolen to the Perreveld, ending at the imposing convent of the Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul. The name of this walk refers to the patron saints of the Mazenzele parish church—with its remarkable 13th-century tower—and the Opwijk parish church.
