The Ronvaux lime tree is located at one of the highest points of the Condroz, at an altitude of 340 meters.
A very old local tradition ensures that in clear weather it can be seen from the top of the abbey towers of St. Hubertus.
This large tree cross served as a religious landmark and marked a crossing point on the pilgrimage path to Saint-Hubert, the so-called Haut-Conduit, which crossed Ronvaux and Chevetogne to reach Saint-Hubert via Rochefort.
Near the tree there is a sign with a text by E.H. Prosper Chalon, former abbot of Saint-Hubert. Thanks to his notes, Ciney's historical circle was able to trace the history of 21 crosses, including this one.
