Many captivating stories have been written about this well (not just any well). The first probably dates back to 1571, when Lieske Coolbonders committed suicide by drowning herself in the well while the devil himself was pursuing her. Lieske was the illegitimate daughter of Katrien Coolbonders, who was raped by a Spanish nobleman. The nobleman was murdered by Katrien's husband. The body was first dumped in the Devil's Well. Later, it was buried somewhere nearby. (Efkesweg.be)

Fun to spin the wheel here and listen to the story around this mysterious pool...

Het Zwart Water is a nature reserve southwest of the town of Lichtaart, which is part of the Antwerp municipality of Kasterlee, located near Lavendelweg 1-3. The area is managed by the Agency for Nature and Forests. The area is located on the Kempense Heuvelrug and consists of a fen that used to be in a drifting sand and heathland area, but was largely forested with conifers during the 19th century. On the edge of the fen you will find bog myrtle thickets, willow swamp forest and poor grassland. There is a floating dome in the fen that forms a safe resting place for birds. The forest is gradually being transformed into more mixed forest. In addition, there are remnants of heathland.

De Ronde Put is located in the middle of an old cultural landscape with deciduous and coniferous forests and small-scale agricultural plots and is a relic of large land ownership with agriculture, forestry and later also hunting. The various stages of the changes that the landscape underwent are still noticeable: the deciduous forest cultivation and formation of heathland and fields; the draining of swamps and reforestation of heathland during the 18th century and the exploitation of a peat swamp. De Ronde Put belongs to the 'Domain der Kempen' in the east of the province of Antwerp, formerly owned by Prince Karel. The area is roughly bordered by the Hoge Moer and the E34 motorway in the north, the Postel Abbey with the associated forest area and old cultural landscape in the east, the Retie - Postel (N123) national road in the south and the Turnhout - Dessel canal. in the West. The Ronde Put consists of an eastern and western pit, separated by a central dike. In the northwest is the rectangular Lange Linneput. In the agricultural zone near this well there is a drainage stream of the Ronde Put, an iron-colored stream that originates in the Lange Linneput, a 2.5 to 3 meter wide ditch that runs parallel to the Kempens Zijkanaal (the drainage stream and the small stream flow into this) and numerous drainage ditches from the agricultural lands.
