    Hiking

    The name Heksenboom is taken from a Scots pine 50 meters away. In 1870, this oddity stood on a sandy plain created by overgrazing sheep. Many other trees did not survive the sand drift. The Witch Tree, however, withstood a three-meter high sand layer.

    Due to the irregular shape of the tree, superstition arose in those years that a witch had fallen under it. When shepherds walked back from the Peel and the Heide to Sint Tunnis in the evening, it seemed as if the buried witch was waving her arms above the sand.

    Looks nice, but closed on Tuesday, so I was out of luck :-)

    Excellent restaurant (closed on Mondays), very suitable to rest during the bike ride and enjoy a drink.
    Also starting point for various walks. Large parking lot so you can also start from here
