The Molenbeek is the most important stream in the municipality of Kortenberg, where it also originates. In the first part of its course it is called the Aderbeek and then Wasbeek. It flows into the Dyle at Boortmeerbeek. But first it also flows along the Silsombos where you will also find the Weesbeek that originates in Erps. At the Stenen Goot it even flows above the Weesbeek. More info about this highlight during your walk in Silsombos: komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/5771050

The Molenbeek stream also flows to the Zwarte Madam in this area: komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/3856012

The area here can be very muddy and the boardwalks and pieces of wood are not in the best condition for every walker.
