During WWII, this site was the site of the airfield, occupied by German troops from 1941 to 1944, from where Typhoons took off to fight for our freedom. Now a memorial.

The rather imposing field cross marks the intersection of the parishes of Oostwinkel, Ursel, and Zomergem, as they were demarcated in the 13th century. The cross's history dates back to the 13th century, when the first attempt was made to transform the natural landscape into a cultivated landscape. This was a very uncertain period, marked by, among other things, turbulent religious wars. It wasn't until around 1500, when many farms lay in ruins, that the transition from field to woodland was restored. The avenues, laid out in a checkerboard pattern, are still clearly recognizable today. (Source: Lievegem.be) Diagonally opposite the cross is an entrance to the small but very charming Berhoutbosje woods.

The (historical) Scheepsput can be found in the beautiful green Sint-Pietersveld. You would hardly believe it, but this well was dug in the mid-19th century to build a three-master. The large sailing ship served as a training ground for the sailors of a reform school in the area (now Community Institution De Zande). The pond was given the name 'Het Schip', but was transformed by the local population into the Scheepsput.

Near the Keigatbossen stands a field cross, surrounded by lime trees. It is said to date back to the 13th century, when Bishop Walter de Marvis demarcated the parish boundaries here. Once a resting place for travellers, it is now a landmark in the Drongengoed Landscape Park.

Ideal for a family bike ride

The Keigatbos is an atmospheric and varied nature reserve, where deciduous trees, open fields and winding paths alternate. This forest in the Flemish Ardennes offers numerous hiking trails along old pollard willows and rustic wooden fences, with here and there an open space full of wild flowers.

Here you roll between the vast fields that make this region so beautiful.
