Tontestraat (and not 'Tontestraat' as this highlight was originally called) climbs towards Geitenberg, the highest point in Kooigem. There stands the 18th-century Tonte Chapel, which, together with its neighbor, the poplar, forms a landmark in this field-dominated area.

Our Lady of the Tonte Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Over the centuries, the Tontekapel evolved into a true pilgrimage site on the border of Kortrijk and Zwevegem. From here and there pilgrims "served" against the fever. It is an old custom to tie a piece of clothing from the feverish person to the chapel in order to transmit the disease to Our Lady. Allegedly, young girls also tied bows and ribbons to the chapel door in the silent hope of finding their chosen one for the next pilgrimage.

Picnic Spot With View of the Windmill

Highlight • Viewpoint

I did not stop here but I saw the place from the road, with a seat to recover, tables, and so on. Looks like a very nice spot with a very nice view.

Little Mill ter Klare

Highlight • Monument

On the other side of Beerbosstraat is a second "small" mill. It looks like a scale model, but is noticeably larger than you would expect from a pseudo-mill.

Klare Molen

Highlight • Monument

The Molen Ter Klare, also known as Molen Ter Claere, is a historic windmill in Sint-Denijs, a sub-municipality of Zwevegem in West Flanders. It is a stone ground-sailer that originally dates from before 1415. The current mill was rebuilt in 1923 after an earlier version was destroyed during the First World War. The mill is located at the highest point in the region, at 76 metres, and offers beautiful views.
The mill has been protected as a monument since 1944 and is used for grinding grain. It is equipped with three grinding pairs and a grain cleaner. Although the mill has suffered damage in the past, including a fire in 1950, it has been restored and remains an important heritage piece2.
