From 1615 onwards, the Burgundy stones marked the boundaries between the royal and community forests (Germany/Belgium).

Hiking

A trip back in time. If you carefully cross the forest you can see the history of a forgotten or never known past.

Hiking

In addition to the eagle stones of the "Aachen Empire", the Burgundy stones erected around 1615 are historical landmarks well worth seeing. They enclose a plot of the old royal forest, which the Duchy of Burgundy had claimed for itself and thus prevailed in 1611.
