This area has seen its share of wars. It could hardly be otherwise, for a forest that dates back to the 13th century. The War of the Spanish Succession still rears its head here and there. Here you will find remains of the Line that served in 1701.
(Information board on site)
One of the paths in the bid is therefore called "Liniedreef". This runs along the canal "De Linie".
