About
Trail Other activity of 7.7 km to be discovered at Flanders, Flemish Brabant, Bierbeek. This trail is proposed by Swakke.
Description
Zoals de naam Bierbeek laat vermoeden is het dorp gelegen aan een beek: de Mollendaalbeek. Ze ontspringt in het gelijknamige gehucht, op 1 km ten zuiden van de dorpskom. De omgeving van Mollendaal is één van de meest landelijke gebieden van Bierbeek. Wijde akkers en fraaie hoeven duiden aan dat de grond er zeer vruchtbaar is. De naam 'Schavaai' betekent in het lokale dialect mutsaard, takkenbos. Waarschijnlijker is nochtans dat de plaatsnaam een vervorming is van het Romaanse woord 'scavée' dat op zijn beurt afgeleid is van het Latijnse excavata, wat groeve betekent.
