Hiking

This boundary marker is located on De Stropersstraat in Kemzeke (Stekene), on the border with the Netherlands. The marker was placed by the province of East Flanders, after the provincial borders were established. The bluestone column rests on an angular base and is crowned with a spherical top piece. In 1994, the boundary marker was protected as a monument.
