Tips

October 11, 2025

On the bench, you'll find a QR code that takes you to a Heritage Inventory page with the information below. If you sit on the bench and look up, you won't see a lime tree, but oaks. In windy weather, it's best not to look up too much during this time of year, as the acorns are falling.

The historic lime tree is on the other side of the intersection.
And this is what the QR code on the bench, and therefore the Heritage Inventory, says: "At the intersection of three unpaved field roads, Aarschotsestraat, Molensteenstraat, and Velpestraat, stands an imposing lime tree. This intersection is already present on the Ferraris' 18th-century Cabinet Map. On the topographic maps of 1904 and 1939, an 'Arbre' (a small tree) is mentioned at the intersection. At the end of the 20th century, a wayside cross is indicated here on the topographic map."
