“He’s a real ‘droes,’” the older residents of Opwijk still say. “Droes” roughly means “devil,” and the name of the hamlet Droeshout translates to “marshy forest.” You’ll discover that for yourself if you walk a little further down the Puttenbeek valley. Among other things, you’ll find a natural reed bed called De Putten. This walk starts and ends at the Hof Ten Hemelrijk community center, a farmstead dating back to the Middle Ages that features a cozy cafeteria where you can relax afterward.
