Tips from the Community
These Highlanders are used for the maintenance and promotion of biodiversity. It's right up their alley: they will trample invasive ferns, giving flowers space to grow and bloom, they will "prune" and "trim" trees, their manure is excellent fertilizer, and with their long coats, they spread wildflower seeds. (Information board on site) And they are fun to watch, especially the calves.

The sunflowers are no longer blooming at the end of October, but this area is beautiful. You can quietly enjoy nature on the bench.

Until 1950, there was a chapel dedicated to Saint Anne (the mother of Mary) in the meadow at the forester's farm of Liedekerkebos (accessible from the Bosstraat in Lombeek). In 1950, the dilapidated chapel in the meadow was demolished and a new chapel was built at the corner of the street and the access road to the farm. Inside the chapel are plaster statues of the Holy Family and a plaque with the inscription “Langs deze weg zet geen voet of zeg Maria wees gegroet” (Along this path, do not set foot without saying a Hail Mary). The worship of Saint Anne fell into disuse. (Editiepajot)
