      Designer Rik Willems and his company Allerhanden developed the artwork 'The Iron Stone Man' as a signpost. It shows the path to Scherpenheuvel on the pilgrimage route from Averbode. This pilgrimage route is one of the seven paths that were upgraded to lead pilgrims safely from 7 cities to Scherpenheuvel.
