Hiking

Here the hiker comes across a small, well-preserved sacred monument. Considering its proud age of more than two centuries, the stone wayside cross - strictly speaking a memorial cross (Bernd has already quoted the dedication inscription in his text) - is very well preserved, and the carved characters in particular show no signs of weathering. Due to the large inscription, there is no room for the body of the crucified Christ.

Or the Vertbuisson cross in limestone. An old cross from 1819 commemorating "Madame De Behr," wife of the then Duke of Haut Marais, who died here after a fall from her horse.
