View of the Demer River and Aarschot Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

From Aarschot, you can navigate in two directions, using the Demer as a guide: upstream to Testelt, or downstream to Werchter and its estuary in the Dijle. Whichever direction you choose, the Church of Our Lady, with its distinctive spire, is a well-established landmark in the Demer Valley landscape.

’s Hertogenmolens, Aarschot

Highlight • Monument

This watermill complex, founded around 1510 by Willem de Croy, lord of Aarschot, was the most impressive in the region and connected the northern part of the city with the southern part.
The mill complex was uniquely located, it served as a bridge over the Demer and served as a grain mill, bark and glass mill, but also as a defense of the city.
Vessels that passed under the central arch had to pay taxes. The rings in the wall, where the ships moored, are still visible.
In 1970 the mill was partly destroyed by a fire. In 1986, the 's Hertogenmolens became a protected monument and the surrounding area a classified village view.

Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge at Aarschot Station

Highlight • Bridge

Practical bridge. The gradient is comfortable. The approach lanes are wide enough for everyone to cross the railway at their own pace. At the top, you have a beautiful view of the trains coming and going.

Demer Towpath

Highlight • Cycleway

If it is on the way, definitely plan for it. Finest asphalt and quiet. So if it is not a detour, clearly recommended!
