The eight boulders symbolize the eight villages of the Eight Beatitudes: Eersel, Duizel (formerly Duijsel), Hulsel, Knegsel, Netersel, Reusel, Steensel, and Wintelre (Wintersel). The natural stones are precisely sized and aligned with the compass point, so that they represent the villages as accurately as possible. Each village has been assigned its own Beatitude, just as Jesus of Nazareth also speaks in the Sermon on the Mount about eight Beatitudes or Beatitudes for salvation. Nowadays, we describe the term "blessed" as the Bible intends it more as "happy." 1. Wintelre: The poor in spirit. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 2. Eersel: The meek. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit it long. 3. Duizel: The mourner. Blessed are those who weep, for they will be comforted. 4. Hulsel: The hungry for righteousness. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 5. Reusel: The merciful. Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy. 6. Steensel: The pure in heart. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 7. Knegsel: The peaceful. Blessed are the peaceful, for they will be called children of God. 8. Netersel: The persecuted. Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. More information can be found on the site.

The Cartierheide is a vast heathland and fenland in the Brabant Kempen region, named after the Belgian Baron De Cartier de Marchienne, who protected this landscape from exploitation in the early 20th century. Here, you can walk through a mosaic of purple heathlands, tranquil forests, and glistening fens, where silence and vastness prevail. A highlight is the boardwalk, which takes you straight through the wet heathland and offers a unique perspective on this unique landscape. In summer, the heather is in full bloom, turning the fields purple. Along the way, you can often spot birds such as the European stonechat or a buzzard. The Cartierheide is part of the cross-border Grenspark De Kempen and perfectly illustrates what nature once looked like in large parts of Brabant: rugged, open, and rich in diversity.
