    At this central location we commemorate the eleven Belgian forest rangers who died or went missing during the First World War. When designing the 'Forest Man' monument, artist Richard Viandier drew inspiration from the funeral rites of the Celts. It will probably not escape your notice that this place feels a bit 'Stonehenge'. The site consists of a circle of eleven stones or 'menhirs', each dedicated to one of the eleven forest rangers.

      More than just a memorial, a magical place. Too bad the road is that close to it!

        Not quite what you would expect here, nice place to rest.
