Vlasrootputten

Highlight • Natural

At the Pandgatheide you will find this idyllic pond with a wooden jetty. A beautiful location for a picnic on a sunny day. It is pleasant to stay there in nature.
In the past, the pond was a 'flax retting pit'. Farmers had their flax retted there, rotted, so that the fibre came loose from the hard core. Then linen could be made with it.
Klein-Brabant used to be known for its flax industry. That is why you will find many flax retting pits in our region.

Village center Mollem (Asse)

Highlight • Settlement

The village center of Mollem has been protected since January 10, 1980 because of the unspoilt state of the buildings around the church square and the iconic role of both St. Stephen's Church and the parsonage.
There are several historic buildings in the village center, including an 18th-century farmhouse, a former village farm, and the town hall that now serves as a library branch.
A striking building in the village center is a neoclassical mansion from the last quarter of the 19th century, surrounded by a garden and closed off from the street with a low wall and an iron fence.

Het Leireken - old Steenhuffel station building

Highlight • Cafe

The wagon is a silent witness to the old railway lines.
The railway line was mainly used for local freight transport for the supply and delivery of agricultural products and also for the supply of building materials, among other things.
The tracks were dismantled in the mid-20th century and now serve as a cycle path 'Leirekensroute'.
The steps invite you to get on. Unfortunately, you can no longer get on. You only have a view into a 1st class train wagon.

Through the Netherlands,
To the wide, deep sea,
The beautiful Scheldt flows
She brings health and life!
We rejoice:
O Scheldt! O Scheldt!
O mighty beautiful flood,
