Historic site often confused with a recent plane crash. This cross actually pays homage to Franz Herp, Martyr of the Fatherland, who died on December 20, 1917. He is said to have been a local gamekeeper (or intelligence agent) who paid with his life for his commitment to Belgium during the Great War. A poignant testimony in the heart of the forest.
