Keeses Mill

Highlight • Monument

Keeses Mill is located on an offshoot of the Kempense Heuvelrug, called the Kabouterberg, on the Geelse Baan (near the Heemerf De Waaiberg) in Kasterlee. It is a grinding, typical Kempen standard mill with an open foot. The mill was built around 1650, and was then located on Dam Square in Antwerp. From there it was moved to the hamlet of Lo in Heist-op-den-Berg in 1853-'54, and in 1922 to "de Heesbergen" along the Retsebebaan in Kasterlee, to replace a windmill that had blown down.[1] Keeses Molen owes its name to one of the last owners, Cornelius (Kees) Van Laer. It has been declared a monument twice, on October 18, 1943 and on September 27, 1954. The windage is poor because the pine forest on the dune has grown too high.
Before the mill was moved to the Kabouterberg, it had a closed base and wooden breast rods. The base was changed to an open base before the mill was turned in on June 13, 1954. An important impetus in connection with the move came from the Royal Society for Nature and Urban Beauty.

Dessel - Kwaadmechelen Canal

Highlight • River

Nice wide towpath along the Dessel Kwaadmechelen Canal. Courtesy is appropriate here. Enjoy together, but everyone at their own pace.
Historical interpretation:
The Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Canal is a 15.7 km long canal in Belgium. It connects the canal intersection in Dessel with the Albert Canal in Kwaadmechelen (municipality of Ham). It is one of the seven Kempen canals between the Maas and the Scheldt. It flows through four municipalities: Dessel, Mol, Balen and Ham.

When completed in 1858 it was part of the Branch Canal to Hasselt. It has a gabarite of 2,000 tons, does not contain any locks and has a bend near the connection with the Albert Canal. In Dessel it connects to two Kempen canals: the Bocholt-Herentals Canal and the Dessel-Turnhout-Schoten Canal.
