Discover Sint-Denijs: Ter Klare Windmill and Nature

If you would like to combine nature and walking in Sint-Denijs, Mortagnebos and the “Door De Velden” walk are two specific options. Cultural heritage can be seen in the stone grain windmill Ter Klare and in a church window depicting saints. There are also experiences related to Beerbosch and an educational visit to an orchard and farm. As you plan, you can decide whether to focus on trails, history, or a bookable experience.

Cultural heritage in Sint-Denijs

The stone grain windmill Ter Klare was rebuilt in 1923. It is the only surviving remnant of the five windmills that once stood in the village.

Two saints are depicted side by side in a stained-glass window in the church of Sint-Dionysius Sint-Genesius. This offers a different focus from the history of the windmills: here, the focus is on a specific image. If you are interested in cultural heritage, the stained-glass window complements the story of the village’s past with sacred art.

Routes and activities

The “Door De Velden” walk is 6 km long and is located in Sint-Denijs. All paths on the walk are accessible to wheelchairs and pushchairs; geocaching is also included. As you plan, you can take into account the route’s length, accessibility for wheelchairs and pushchairs, and geocaching. If you factor accessibility for wheelchairs and pushchairs into your plans, this information applies to all paths on the walk.

The Beerbosch photo hunt is available by reservation in 6.5 km or 11 km versions. In terms of distance, “Door De Velden” is the shorter option; the photo hunt offers one slightly longer and one considerably longer version. Your choice also depends on the activity: geocaching is part of the “Door De Velden” walk, while the photo hunt focuses on the hunt itself.

Experiences related to wine and farming

By reservation, Wijndomein Beerbosch offers a walk through the vineyards followed by a tasting of three Beerbosch wines.

Hof 't Klokhuis offers an educational visit to an orchard and farm. Its focus on learning about fruit and farming differs from the walking routes and Beerbosch experiences. If you would like to add an activity beyond the walking routes to your travel plans, you can consider the educational visit to the orchard and farm as a standalone experience.
