フランダースの峡谷・トップ20

最も深い空洞道 - リンブルフだけでなく、フランダース地方のものでもあります - はロクスベルゲンにあり、深さはなんと12メートルもあります。侵食により、ここには下の鉄砂岩が露出しています。この錆びた茶色の岩石はデメル渓谷の特徴であり、中世には多くの大小の建造物の建材として使用されていました。この鉄砂岩が容易にアクセスできる場所では、建材を採掘するために丘を掘削しました。ロクスベルゲンにあるこの空洞道のような場所でも同様のことが起こりました。侵食された溝の端に沿って、鉄砂岩のブロックが切り出され、近くの建設現場に運ばれました。

Overall, this place and the surrounding area is a great practice ground for sand riding and has beautiful nature.

This scenic unpaved path winds through the Teuvenderberg forest reserve, offering a peaceful escape into nature. Surrounded by dense woodland, diverse flora, and the occasional wildlife sighting, the trail provides a tranquil setting for hikers and cyclists alike. The natural terrain, combined with the quiet atmosphere, makes it an ideal route to enjoy fresh air, forest sounds, and the feeling of being immersed in a protected natural landscape.

An told the origin of the sand pit (construction of Brustem airport) and elsewhere on a nearby highlight mentions a Merovingian burial ground, while Marc mentions a grave here. Those who are interested can find a historically and archaeologically very fascinating overview of the many rich finds in the "Merovingian Burial Ground in Engelmanshoven" in the January 1954 edition of the "Oude Land van Loon" by Knight Ph. de Schaetzen and M. Vanderhoeven. It shows you how extensive, important and simply 'rich' the finds made here are. Much can be admired in the Gallo-Roman museum in nearby Tongeren.

There is now also a mammoth skeleton in De Kuil. Don't believe it? Read more here: https://www.zonhoven.be/rendierjagerspad De Kuil has indeed been included - and successfully - in the new Reindeer Hunters' Trail. Be sure to walk around there too, new benches, information boards and fun things that refer to prehistoric times. And if you want to see the cross-country skiers at work, you should definitely also check out the grass areas behind the pit where sometimes a runner goes up high via one of the ski jumps.

Nice
