The Drieboomkensberg Pilgrimage Site (also spelled Drieboomkesberg) is a historic place of devotion in Westmalle (municipality of Malle), located on the highest point of a group of inland dunes. Dedication: The site is dedicated to Our Lady of Fever (also known as Help of the Sick). Origin of the name: The place is named after three large larch trees that used to stand on the hill. Tradition: For generations, the sick and believers have come together here for reflection and healing. In May, the Marian month, the Sint-Martinus parish of Westmalle still organizes an annual pilgrimage to this place. The Great Crucifix: On the top stands a large blue stone crucifix that was donated in 1948 by Count Thierry de Renesse and blessed by the abbot of the Westmalle Abbey.

Between 1895 and 2010, more than 2,000 missionary sisters were trained here to be sent out to missions worldwide. It marks the beginning of a beautiful semi-paved path to and through West-Beersgat, once known as the forest of the Antwerp Public Centre for Social Welfare (OCMW). In the second half of the nineteenth century, the heathland on the poor sandy soils had to make way for coniferous forests. After the Second World War, several stands of Scots pine were replaced by Corsican pine, larch, and spruce to create a production forest and hunting area. West-Beersgat is a large forest of over 68 hectares in Wuustwezel, which we traverse entirely via a "Dream Link."

A pleasant bike path along the Antitank Ditch. It can get quite busy here on weekends. Courtesy is therefore essential. Enjoy together, each at your own pace.
