Picnic Area Along the Albert Canal

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice rest and picnic area along the Albert Canal, although it is often windy on top of the dike, and also warm when the sun is shining.

Stone Windmill of Pulderbos

Highlight • Monument

A few hundred meters from the center of Pulderbos we find the mill at Molenheide 67. Construction work started in March 1840. The stone windmill first turned in 1843. Today it is protected along with its surroundings. The mill turns and grinds on Sunday afternoons. The mill is even open to the public between 1 and 6 pm (in winter until 5 pm). Feel free to take a look inside. You can see the miller at work, learn a lot in the exhibition 'from grain to flour' and buy a delicious mill bread on the side.
You can also visit the mechanical mill, the Molenhuis, the Karkot Museum and the Bijenhal on the site.

The mill can also be viewed in a group by appointment. Make your appointment via the Zandhoven Tourism Office.

Blommerschot Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.
In 1900 Leon de Nevel and wife Delphina Cools had a neo-Gothic family chapel built in Blommerschot in memory of their parents August Cools and Maria Van de Brande. It is a small brick structure with a wooden canopy and green painted door. Because it is a private chapel, there is no public devotion.

Picnic area junction 80

Sometimes you have to look far and you need a picnic area.
This location has been put on the map. A stone's throw away is the 'Tree of the Achievements'.

Warandeplas

Highlight • Lake

The Warandeplas is an extensive body of water that lies between the forests of Rollekensbergen and the Visbeek valley, an extremely valuable and extremely varied nature reserve. It is a beautiful location for walking, cycling and enjoying nature. There is even a zone where your dog can freely enter the water. In 2016 a sheep grid was placed around the Warandeplas in function of the grazing by sheep. In this way variation is ensured in the structure of the landscape with a mosaic of forest, shrubs and open areas.

Borrekens Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle has been the pride of Vorselaar for centuries. Around 1270 the first stone was laid by the knights of Rotselaar. The ground plan has been largely preserved to this day. The castle is home to a treasure trove of history and stories, and has been inhabited ever since by noble families. The walking and cycling paths around the castle grounds are a major attraction in the municipality. The castle is surrounded by a green oasis. The beautiful Lindendreef takes you from the church of Vorselaar in a straight line to the castle. To keep the peace in the forest, traffic is not allowed here.
