You walk from church to church, from Boortmeerbeek to Hever and Schiplaken. Although Boormeerbeek is intersected by three major traffic arteries, the community still has beautiful nooks and crannies. You pass beautiful historical buildings such as the Servaes watermill from the 17th century and the Donkhoeve, already mentioned in 1696.
