Winding singletrack in a wooded area

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Not ideal in very wet conditions, but in normal or dry conditions this is a very twisty technical single track. Short but fun to take. If conditions are too wet there is a parallel straight next to the single track.

Blue Bridge over the Dijle

Highlight • Bridge

Beautiful bridge constructions over the Dyle and Nete. The bridges are a very important link in the region for commuting and recreational use.
Bridges connect people and landscapes.

Zellaer Castle

Highlight • Castle

The history of Kasteeldomein Zellaer probably goes back to at least the 13th century. At that time, there was a moated castle on the spot where the current castle now stands. The first resident was in all probability Arnold van Zellaer, a wealthy canon of Sint-Rombouts. The domain has since always been a sought-after place of residence on the outskirts of Mechelen. Several high clergymen have lived there, several mayors of Mechelen, a mayor of Bonheiden, wealthy businessmen, several counts and a baron. Due to this succession of different residents, a lot of renovation and new construction work has also taken place on the domain. There have also been several castles on the same spot within the domain. The current castle is a neo-Gothic moated castle that was built around 1885. The outer facade shows a robust appearance with a drawbridge, a Donjon, battlements and loopholes. The facade stone is Gobertange sandstone that comes from the demolition of the city walls of Vilvoorde. The interior of the castle shows many well-preserved elements that were previously executed in Renaissance style, with beautiful carvings and paintings. The structural elements such as the stairs and ceilings were often finished in a combination of cast steel and wood, characteristic of the period in which the castle was built (industrial revolution).
The 18.5 hectare castle park still contains many historical elements such as a moat structure, pond and avenues that converge centrally in a star. Many of these structures date back to at least the 18th century, as they are already visible on the Ferraris maps (1771-1778)

In 2017, the municipality of Bonheiden partially purchased the castle domain. The non-profit organization Foyer De Charité Bonheiden, a lay community of the Catholic Church and the then owner of the domain, also remained joint owner of the domain. Kempens Landschap has taken the entire castle domain on a long lease for a period of 54 years. At the beginning of 2018, Kempens Landschap and the municipality of Bonheiden started drawing up an integrated nature and heritage management plan for the entire Zellaer castle domain.
