Hiking

Legend has it that, long ago, two ladies got lost in the then wooded area between Lovenjoel and Boutersem. Tormented by thirst and praying for solace to the Mother of God, they followed a star that stood still over a well, some 800 meters north of the hamlet of Hoogbutsel. The Sterreborne, as the well was later aptly called, became the scene of miraculous healings.
The current chapel in neo-Gothic style dates from 1893.

About twenty meters from the large chapel you will find a small one. If the chapel is closed you can enter the candle room. Finally, there is also a walk from the chapel, the Butselbos walk.
