The language border runs right across the densely wooded Kluisberg. Various stories and legends are connected to this witness hill. One of these is the legend of Liedericq, a prince who was raised in the forest by a hermit. Near hiking junction 7 on the Walloon side of the hill is the first of three large giants, each of which depicts a part of the story. The path slowly climbs past the three giants. In 620, Prince Salvaert of Dijon and his entourage passed near the hill. They were attacked by the cruel giant Phineart and were killed. Only the pregnant Ermengaert, wife of Salvaert, managed to escape. She gave birth in the forest and hid her newborn before also falling into the hands of Phineart. A hermit (wink ‘Kluisbos’) took care of the baby. This Prince Liedericq later grew up to be a knight and is said to have been the ancestor of the Counts of Flanders.
