Tips

An 🇧🇪

July 11, 2023

Every year a large Christmas tree – last year a 16-metre-high Nordmann model from Lontzen – decorates Hasselt's Grote Markt. Previously, this was stripped and removed in mid-January, until last year. Then the city council gave the tree a second life for the first time as a 'fairytale tree'. That tree, with a fairytale figure with a long beard on it, is now on the Leopoldplein. Last December's Christmas tree gets a new life as a totem pole thanks to the same chainsaw artist Francis Michielsen, aka 'Carving Cis'. He transformed the Christmas tree, after which the pole moved to the Prinsbeemden nature reserve. Here the totem will not only serve as a visual stimulus made of sustainable material, but also as a source of information. The totem also contains a QR code that refers to a web page with lots of information about the nature reserve, such as which animals - for example the large loach or the colorful kingfisher - can be found there. One of these animals also adorns the totem.
