Tips

July 3, 2024

Source Pier Slot was no longer a source because the groundwater had been too low for a long time, but efforts have been underway for years to revalue/restorate the source. See, among others, at achterdoechelen.be/2023/10/14/de-pier-slot-bron-komen-eraan

You can read everything about the history of the source and its use on the information board that was placed near the nameplate.

In a beautiful sunken road you will find the source Pier Slot. Long ago, the well provided drinking water for the inhabitants. Now only a nameplate points to the source.
