'T FLEET
Cafeteria "'t Vloot" (3560 Lummen, Demerstraat 60) at the Schulensmeer
You should definitely stop here and reward yourself with a drink. Hiking trails. So many options here and in the area. Cycling, walking, picnicking, camping, sailing on the Schulensmeer... Parking for cyclists and cars. Lots of signs with information about the area, routes.... A place to be... very happy 😊

Schulensmeer

Highlight • Lake

The lake is fed by water from the Demer. The Mangelbeek, the Zwarte Beek, the Herk, the Gete, the Velpe and the Begijnenbeek also flow in the same valley. The lake covers 90 hectares, surrounded by the inner dike, which expands to 150 hectares, surrounded by an outer dike, during large water inflows, on the territory of Linkhout and Schulen. The lake is 2.8 km long, about 180 m wide and 7 to 8 m deep. This makes the Schulensmeer the largest inland water in Flanders when it fills up to the outer dikes.

Sint-Janstoren

Highlight • Religious Site

The Sint-Janstoren is a former church tower at Kiezelweg 119 in Schulen.
The tower belonged to a 15th century church. This church was extensively renovated in 1709-1710, retaining the Gothic tower and the Gothic choir. In 1784 the church was enlarged in an easterly direction and converted into a three-aisled church.
In 1937 a fire broke out in the church and it was demolished in 1938, after which a new St. John's Baptist Church was built about a hundred meters away. The tower was preserved and was protected in 1950, but the spire also went up in flames in 1957, just before the restoration was completed. Since then the tower no longer has a spire.
It is a square, brick tower with four sections. The plinth is made of iron sandstone. Some parts of the old church, at least the 18th and 19th century renovations, are still visible. A cemetery was set up around the tower.
