Extensive description Close

Take a short exploratory hike through the diverse Heesakkerpark. You hike past the Watermill Museum and the Sevensmolen. Along the way, you will see a beautiful pond and hike through both coniferous and deciduous woodlands. For children, there is a well-equipped play meadow. Along the blue route, you can enjoy some poems by Toon Van Hoof, the village poet of Overpelt from 2009 to 2011. This valley was shaped by the picturesque Dommel.

Enjoy the varied landscape and discover two of the many mills from the mill municipality Pelt. If you are lucky, you might see the rare green hairstreak butterfly in spring or the small kingfisher butterfly in summer.

The municipal hiking park Heesakkerpark offers various tree species, an adventurous play meadow for children, a natural artwork on a small island, and a windmill. Also set aside some time to visit the mills and the Watermill Museum.
