The dries is a pleasant open meadow in the village centre of Den Hout.

Grazing sheep provide peace and ecological balance in the heart of the village.

A nice location where you can have a picnic or relax in the shade under the old trees.

Historical interpretation:

Dries is a toponym, it already appears as driesch in a 13th-century Flemish document and then means 'wasteland'. This evolved into a name for a settlement form in Flanders and the South of the Netherlands. At a dries, you will find houses around a central square, which usually has a triangular shape. In some regions, the square has a more elongated shape. In the Middle Ages, this central square served as a common pasture (meent) for cattle and as a place where people were allowed to plant, so they were not allowed to build on it. At a dries, there is often also a drinking pool. The main farms of the village were usually located around the dries, with a few smaller houses attached. The triangular shape allowed the cattle to be rounded up at night by having to close in at only three places.

Cycle path on the Brink van Den Hout. This environment still breathes the atmosphere of 100 years ago.
