Kruis van Blommerschot

Highlight • Monument

The forest cross, which lies against the border of Oostmalle and Zoersel, was built on a six-way junction in 1931 long before the construction of the E34. There is a funny anecdote attached to it. Around 1930, the naturist association De Spar opened a nudist area fifty meters away. In a self-built 'nudarium' they practiced nude swimming and nude gymnastics.
The local residents spoke of the 'exposure holes' and told about the many untold things that happened there. Legend has it that a poacher encountered eight naked women during his nighttime trek through the forest. He fell asleep at a crossroads of lanes and woke up the next day with no trace of his nighttime adventure. The pastor was so impressed by the poacher's story that he had the cross of Blommerschot erected there to chase the 'witches' away.

Sandy section near the Toeristentoren

This part of the permanent mountain bike route runs over a sandy surface. In dry weather this requires some technical driving experience. You can see the tourist tower beautifully here.

Entrance Black Route Herentals

Highlight • MTB Park

The entrance to the black trail in Herentals marks the start of a challenging and technical MTB route, especially for experienced mountain bikers. This trail offers steep climbs, fast descents and sharp turns that will test your agility and strength. Surrounded by dense forests and with a rough terrain, this is a must for those who love the beautiful nature of the Antwerp Kempen.

Le Paige Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle dates from 1892. Elements from the Renaissance, Baroque and Classicism form a neo-style. In the interior we find an impulse to Art Nouveau. The wrought iron fence around the front garden is made by the Herental iron foundry Van Aerschot.

Grobbendonk Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Grobbendonk's water mill is located at the confluence of the Kleine Nete and Aa and is one of the most beautiful hammer mills in the Kempen. This 13th-century battle mill still grinds daily, oats and barley are crushed for horse feed. Until today, the mill is only powered by water power, which is unique for Flanders
