In the last century this was a forest path where it was busy at dusk. Much busier than on paths in other forest areas of Vorden. Loving couples from the village of Vorden liked to go for a walk there. It was romantic. Especially in the spring when the twigs of the trees unfolded further. But also in the summer because then it was so beautiful green. In the fall it was beautiful because of all those golden yellow red colors. They tied a knot together in the low-hanging young beech twigs to seal each other's love in a very natural way. This practice probably started before 1940. In any case, magazines wrote about it in the 1950s.
The knots in the branches have been the symbol of the love of many people from Vorden and the surrounding area for many generations. Love forges a bond that grows closer over the years. According to tradition, a union lasts longer if the couple first goes to the lane of knots to put a loop in a young springy beech twig. So the young people went to do that, without giving much publicity to it. Some knots became stiff and stiff over time, as might the couple who tied the knot.
