Good Neighbors Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Four statues, referring to the four roads of the roundabout

Because the roundabout on the N208 is practically on the border of Liedekerke and Affligem, both municipalities, as good neighbours, decided to embellish this place with a work of art. The choice fell on a work by sculptor Patrick Van Craenenbroeck: four statues, referring to the four roads that end at the roundabout along the N208.

Pedestrian road 30 runs between the Bellebeek and the Bosbeek or along the Sluisvijver.
The Sluisvijver served as a fishing pond for the monks of Affligem.

This footpath is a beautiful trail.

Chapel at Liedekerkebos-Hertigembos Border

Highlight • Religious Site

Until 1950, there was a chapel dedicated to Saint Anne (the mother of Mary) in the meadow at the forester's farm of Liedekerkebos (accessible from the Bosstraat in Lombeek).
In 1950, the dilapidated chapel in the meadow was demolished and a new chapel was built at the corner of the street and the access road to the farm. Inside the chapel are plaster statues of the Holy Family and a plaque with the inscription “Langs deze weg zet geen voet of zeg Maria wees gegroet” (Along this path, do not set foot without saying a Hail Mary). The worship of Saint Anne fell into disuse.

Kadospad - Valier

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The walking path through De Valier was given the name Kadospad, nickname of the Lievens family who used this old unloading road to reach their plots in the Valier nature reserve. The path starts along a species-rich marsh marigold where you can admire all kinds of insects in the summer, such as the rare blackthorn page and the musk longhorn beetle. It continues over a boardwalk through a rougher landscape with, among other things, meadowsweet and large valerian. Over the centrally located Begijnegracht you reach another old unloading road that used to connect the station with the 'kapellekes' of the 'beeweg' of Ter Muilem. Thanks to the construction of the boardwalk, the area is also accessible during flooding.
