Hiking

Near the Keigatbossen stands a field cross, surrounded by lime trees. It is said to date back to the 13th century, when Bishop Walter de Marvis demarcated the parish boundaries here. Once a resting place for travellers, it is now a landmark in the Drongengoed Landscape Park.

In the north of Ursel, near the Keigatbossen, stands a so-called field cross. The cross is surrounded by lime trees. The field cross at this location is believed to date back to the mid-13th century, when Bishop Walter de Marvis demarcated the parish boundaries in this region. Today, the area surrounding the field cross is a pleasant resting place in the Drongengoed Landscape Park; in the past, it was a resting and landmark for travelers.
