Molenbeek
Highlight • River
The Molenbeek originates in Dilbeek and flows through the municipalities of Sint-Agatha-Berchem, Jette and Laeken.
The Molenbeek rises near Kattebroek on the border of the Flemish and Brussels regions, after which it falls into a collector. It surfaces again in Ganshoren on Het Veroost, where the Maalbeek flows from Zellik into the Molenbeek. Not much further, the stream flows through the Ganshoren Marsh. After it passes the King Baudouin Park, it flows again into a collector in the direction of the canal. The ponds of Laeken Castle are located in the Molenbeek valley. Even in the 21st century they are still fed by a branch of the Molenbeek.
The Molenbeek should not be confused with the Maalbeek, a much smaller stream on the left bank of the Senne, which gave its name to the municipality of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. This Maalbeek (or Molenbeek) rises in the Scheutbos in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek and runs via the Zwarte Vijvers to the Senne.

Kerremans Park boardwalk
Highlight • Trail
The 27-hectare Kerremanspark was created from 2005 to 2018 and is located in the Molenbeek valley, where it is connected to the Ganshoren nature reserves and, to the west, to the open space.
There is a forest and a water basin, as well as recreational facilities such as a playground. The emblematic animal of the park is the grass snake.
A one-kilometre trail allows visitors to discover the different aspects of the park.
