Old Pumping Station Bossuit

Highlight • Monument

The Old Pump Building of Bossuit (Avelgem) dates from 1860 and is located in Avelgem. The building was originally responsible for pumping water from the Scheldt to the Bossuit-Kortrijk Canal, which was to serve as a water transport route from Wallonia to Flanders and Northern France. The building has now been renovated and has been given a new tourist-recreational destination. It is now home to Spirits by Design, a craft distillery that has moved there. It is still possible to visit the old pumps freely during the weekdays. In the summer months there is an aperitif bar De stokerie.

The bridge itself isn't much. There are actually two of the same type just a few hundred meters apart. Both cross the Gaverbeek stream, which runs parallel to the Trimaarzate, the green walking and cycling route on the old Ronse-Kortrijk railway line. The bridges allow you to walk through the grass on the other side of the Gaverbeek (although not yet designated as a walking path on Komoot, it is certainly easily walkable) instead of on the paved Trimaarzate.

Tontestraat

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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.

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.
