Malle, a town of 14,000 in the heart of the
Kempen, is a favorite with hikers and bikers. Two of Belgium's most prized abbey beers, the Westmalle Double and Triple, are brewed at the Trappist Abbey of Westmalle. The 15th century palace of Renesse is a well-kept estate, with fine gardens.
Oostmalle and Westmalle are boroughs within the municipal district of Malle.
