Hiking
On top of the hill, between the heath and forests of Hees, there is a grass area surrounded by some small accommodations and some houses. You will also find this chapel that would have been built as a promise at (the outbreak of) the Second World War as stated on the sign. Whatever the case: the chapel is there, on the edge of this somewhat strange place that you find after your nature walk.

During WWII, four sons of the family Leonard Vandevenne and Jozefine Claes were in the Belgian army. At the outbreak of the war, they had promised to build a chapel if their four sons could return safely. On April 27, 1941, the last of their sons returned after eleven months of captivity in Germany, whereupon the chapel was built on their property.
