    From the information board on the other side of the path: "On April 30, 2004, the statue of witch Tjenne was inaugurated. The Tjenne statue was made by sculptor Gerard Moonen, commissioned by the land consolidation Mettekoven. Tjenne is dialect for Jeanne or Jeanna Michiels who was wrongly burned here in 1667 and doomed to hell. By carrying her to heaven anyway, the statue symbolizes tolerance above all."
