    Hiking

    The linden tree in Moorsel, as in many other villages, is a historical linden tree that was often planted in a central place in the village. These trees were traditionally pruned into three levels, with the top level symbolizing the divine, the middle level authority and the bottom level the common people. The linden tree had a social function: parties were held there, justice was administered and rope was made there.

    The tree that stands on the square at the Saint-Gudula chapel stands out because of its special shape: the crown has three floors. This is what is called a "storey tree".
    In the whole of Flanders, there are only 23 registered locations (Hasselt will soon be the 24th) where a storey tree stands. Some are long-preserved trees; this one here was planted recently.
