The Bostmolen, also known as the Machelgemmolen, is a watermill on the Zwalm. A first watermill was already mentioned in 1040. In 1571, there was a double mill, set up as a grain and oil mill. The oil mill was on the other side of the stream. The building was dated "1630" by means of anchor bolts in the gable (which indicates a reconstruction) and was demolished shortly after 1933. At the sluice beams by the stream, the year 1782 is on a brick stone. The mill was closed down in 1966 and converted into a café. Because of the jazz performances that were organized there for a time, the mill also became known as the Tootsmolen, after the world-famous jazz musician (harmonica) Toots Tielemans. In 1979, Paul-Joseph Maryns, a teacher in Zottegem, bought the mill. The mill building was restored from 2005 onwards according to a design by architect Sabine Okkerse from Horebeke. This was done in anticipation of a functional restoration. However, the latter has not (yet) been realized. Today, the mill is owned by Olav Maryns, the son of Paul-Joseph, and his wife Kim Lybaert, who run a restaurant there together. source: Molenecho's

Yes and no. If you cycle the Watermill Route, you do have to stop for a while, but we can't speak of any "industrial" beauty here.

If the tourist information point is open, be sure to pop in and chat with the friendly hostess. You can also taste or buy a Boembeke Luiwerk. Check out the route on Enjoying on 2 Wheels for more information about this beer.

Oudenaarde's town hall is one of the finest examples of Brabantine Late Gothic architecture in Belgium. It's a place filled with stories, ceremonies, and traditions, and an absolute eye-catcher on any walk through the city. With the sun shining from above, it's truly magnificent 😍
