The summit of the slope lies between the Rodeberg and the Vidaigneberg. Near the summit stands the Lijstermolen (Listers Mill). A chairlift runs between the Baneberg and the Vidaigneberg, gliding over the saddle valley between the two "mountains" and the vineyards of the Entre-Deux-Monts, offering panoramic views of northern France and the Belgian coastal plain. The summit is 140 meters high. The name comes from the Bane family, who owned the mountain in the 13th and 14th centuries. The slope is also sometimes called Gildestraat (Gilde Street). https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baneberg

Beautiful boardwalk with the planks lengthwise and not widthwise. The boardwalk not only allows you to keep your feet dry, but also ensures that this nature reserve remains accessible, without the vegetation suffering.

Behind the small Locre No. 10 Cemetery there is an oak tree in the middle of a field. The men in the cemetery died during the Great War of 1914-1918, one of the last victims of that same war fell 65 years later. A farmer ripped apart a bomb with the tail of his plow and flew into the air. The oak tree is planted at the site of the tragedy. www.derondevanbelgie.nl
