The so-called Murder Pit is located next to Oeterslovenstraat at number 15 in the hollow road. The name is linked to the armed clash between a Burgundian and Liège army in 1466. The Wellen district of Berlingen was the battlefield of this conflict.

Hiking

A sunken road is a road that is so deeply worn that it lies between two slopes. It is the result of centuries of use and erosion. The most beautiful sunken roads can be found especially in hilly areas with a subsoil that easily forms steep walls, such as in Haspengouw and Hageland.
