Nice climb of about 1km long. The wind can blow strongly against you (and very occasionally in your favor).

Molen Ter Zeven Wegen is a characteristic hilltop mill dating back to 1790 in Denderwindeke, recognizable by its raised body after the fire of 1863, the overhanging corbel course, and the striking chair cap. The mill stands at an open intersection of rural roads and forms a strong silhouette in the Pajottenland farmland. After the restoration of 2002–2005, it is once again ready to grind, making this a living piece of heritage and a natural, short stop during a ride through the hills around Ninove.

A beautifully preserved wooden post mill from 1790, located at a unique junction of seven roads. This protected monument on the border of Ninove and the Pajottenland offers a brilliant photo opportunity. When the sails are turning, the miller is often present to explain the traditional grinding process.

The Zepposmolen stands on an open height in Roosdaal and is a classic Pajottenland windmill image in a landscape of gently undulating fields. The wooden post mill still grinds grain from the area, making the place a rare piece of living heritage. The surroundings are quiet and rural, with wide views typical of the Pajottenland.

The Woestijnkapel or Chapel of the Holy Cross is located on the Woestijnstraat in Strijland, a hamlet of Gooik. A chapel was built on this site in the 13th century, when a shepherd's dogs found a yellow copper crucifix while digging in the ground. The cross, which must have been made around 1280, quickly became the subject of veneration as a pilgrimage site for pilgrims who came to the Woestijn. The current chapel, however, was only built in 1600, and the unvaulted portal was added in 1713. Inside is a baroque portico altar from 1635 with two Corinthian columns. The chapel has been protected as a monument since 1942. Source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/erfgoed/4952793498
