    Hiking

    On the Polderdijk, opposite the farm "'t Meeuwenhof", there is a striking cast-iron pole on a base of brick and bluestone with the inscription “station geodesique 1853”.
    A geodetic signal or geodetic point is a fixed known point from which one starts when measuring distances for mapping a certain region.
    The iron pile along the Polderdijk is the geodetic signal of Zandvoorde, which is part of a mid-19th century geodetic net, more specifically a triangular net whose angles were measured and whose scale was determined by measuring three bases in Belgium, namely Ostend, Lommel and Hamipré.
