Gotegemberg

Highlight • Climb

Attention, it's uphill! The Gotegemberg is called "mountain" and is actually a hill - but do not underestimate it. Its height difference is about 35 meters. Cyclists hate it because there is a section that has a casual 18 percent incline - but you do that with your left hand and you hardly break a sweat ?!

Below the mountain you will find a fish pond and a historic water mill (the Gotegemmolen), which is no longer in operation.

Engelsmolen

Highlight • Monument

The Engelsmolen, named after the former owner Engelbertus van Londersele, was the first watermill in Erpe-Mere to receive the status of protected monument in 1976. Before 1494, there was already a flour mill on the same site, which was called “Molen Te Dalme” in old documents. The existing mill building dates from 1774.
The current owner began refurbishing the site in 2011, including the horse stables and coach house across the street, while preserving its rural character and heritage value.

Via footpaths and field paths we walk to the valley of the Holbeek, which we follow for a while. We reach the Gotegemstraat, a gravel road that winds through the Den Dotter nature reserve. We pass an old baking oven, …
