The Hollow Oak
This solitary tree is a prominent feature in the field north of the Kloosterbosch (Houthem). Experts estimate its age at 250-300 years. The oak was likely planted to mark the walking path and can be found on old maps. Due to age, lightning strikes, and disease, the tree has become hollow at its base. Nevertheless, the oak returns to its leaves every year.
