Dender valley between Idegem and Ninove and the Geitebos

In this part of the Dender valley between Idegem and Ninove, the Dender has a fairly wide lake area around its banks. Near Zandbergen, just on the border of the alluvium, stands the castle grounds of the Lalaing. The moats around the castle are fed by a stream that comes from the Geitebos. To the south of the castle grounds is a steep slope where this watercourse has cut into it. The Geitebos is located on a steep slope south of Zandbergen. Settlements, such as Grimmige, Pollare and Idegem, lie just outside the alluvium. The transition from the Dendermeersen to the wooded steep slope is a striking terrain crossing.
