Boardwalk Along the Dommel

Highlight • Trail

One butterfly path is more passable than the other. But it always ensures dry feet 😉.

Hoksent is one of the oldest settlements in this area. In the Liber Aureus this place was mentioned as Hoccascaute. The name is said to be derived from hugna (wild boar) and scauta (higher piece of sandy soil in swampy terrain). The Liber Aureus, although written later, mentioned that in 710 this area was given by one Berthilindis, a noble daughter, to Willibrord, who gave it to the Abbey of Echternach in 726. This Abbey still owned a late farm here until the 16th century.

Dommelvallei Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

The Dommel Valley is without a doubt a pearl in the Kempen, ideal for a varied and relaxing walk. You will find alder forests, hay meadows, meadows, small fish ponds, reed fields and much more. The higher parts mainly consist of fields lined with wood edges and some pine forests. This wide variety of landscape types provides many different animal and plant species.

Molhem Prehistoric Burial Mounds

Highlight • Historical Site

Our ancestors buried their dead in burial mounds, of which you can still see five mounds here. They are probably part of a burial ground from the period 800 to 500 BC. Chr.

The people who lived here at that time were farmers. They tilled the higher ground and let their cattle graze in the creek valley. On their way from the fields and the settlement into the valley, they passed the burial mounds, which were only a stone's throw from the stream.
