    The Driekantige Boeren van Olen represent the most famous Olen legends, including Emperor Charles and his pot with three ears. They also immortalize the liberating humor that is so typical of these imperial tales.

    Olenaar Jos Wouters made the group of statues on the occasion of the Emperor Charles year in 1994. The attraction was inaugurated on August 6, 2000.

    For the most famous legend, there is of course also the pot fountain, see komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/2840171

    Perhaps you are now wondering what all those Olen folk tales are and what they are about?
