March 8, 2026, Sint-Antoniuskapel Salphen

The St. Anthony's Chapel is a chapel in the hamlet of Zalfen, located near Salphen, which is part of the Antwerp municipality of Malle. Nearby Oostmalle was hit by a plague epidemic around 1625. Around 60 sick people reportedly fled to the heath. A certain Adriaan Mattheeusen, who lost three children to the disease, had to bury them on the heath and built a chapel for this purpose. This chapel was soon also used for funeral services, and the deceased were buried in a nearby cemetery. The chapel attracted pilgrims and was therefore expanded in 1726. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sint-Antoniuskapel_(Zalfen)

Oostmalle Airfield (IATA: OBL, ICAO: EBZR) is located in the Belgian province of Antwerp, entirely within the municipality of Malle. It is situated east of the town of Zoersel, south of Oostmalle, and west of Wechelderzande. It was constructed between 1952 and 1955 as a NATO reserve airfield. Following various reforms of the Belgian armed forces in the 1990s, the Federal Government's inner cabinet decided to decommission several military areas, including the airbase. On March 30, 2012, the Flemish Government decided to transfer the management of the area from the federal to the Flemish level and put it up for sale. The airfield's natural environment consists primarily of forest and heathland. The Agency for Nature and Forests considers the area to be very important for breeding and migratory birds. 157 bird species were observed there, including the wheatear, woodlark, and curlew. The insect population is also considered very valuable. In September 2023, work began on de-hardening the existing structures, which will continue until March 2025. In the initial phase, approximately 16 hectares of existing pavement and fifteen buildings will be demolished and removed. This will create a significant amount of new nature and allow water to seep in, resulting in a mix of dry and wet heathland landscapes, sand dunes, and valuable forests. The area is also essential for the European priority habitat type of species-rich heathland grasslands. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vliegveld_Oostmalle

The path led to the old windmill. In the past, this path was sometimes also called the Openbergpad.
