Tips

June 3, 2025

An told the origin of the sand pit (construction of Brustem airport) and elsewhere on a nearby highlight mentions a Merovingian burial ground, while Marc mentions a grave here.

Those who are interested can find a historically and archaeologically very fascinating overview of the many rich finds in the "Merovingian Burial Ground in Engelmanshoven" in the January 1954 edition of the "Oude Land van Loon" by Knight Ph. de Schaetzen and M. Vanderhoeven. It shows you how extensive, important and simply 'rich' the finds made here are. Much can be admired in the Gallo-Roman museum in nearby Tongeren.

In this region you will encounter limestone walls in several places, which are typical in the marl landscape. Due to the calcareous rock in the subsoil, various flower-rich grasslands occur here. The Zavelkuil itself was mined when the military airport of Brustem was constructed during WWII.
