Moulin de Moulbaix

Highlight • Monument

The Moulin de la Marquise is a wooden windmill dating from 1747. Initially built in Blicquy in 1614, it was transferred to Moulbaix and sold to the Marquis Gabriel François du Chasteler in 1748. Restored in 1942 by Jozef Dhaenens, it is still in operation, equipped with electric motors to operate in all weathers. The mill has been classified as a historic monument since 1944.

Grocery Store in Les Ecacheries

Highlight • Rest Area

There is a well-supplied grocery store in Les Ecacheries. You won't see it from the Dender towpath but if you enter the little town, you'll easily find it. The staff are very friendly and willing to help cyclists (topping up your bottle, lending a pump...). A good place to stop for food.
