The Kapittelbeek springs from the Hallerbos and flows into the Molenbeek in Dworp. The spring water that feeds this source river is very rich in calcium due to seepage from the limestone-containing Brusselsian sand. As a result, the calcium-rich water deposits characteristic calcium carbonate precipitation in certain places, which we know as travertine formation. Here, the travertine forms only small blocks of stone, but if large shapes are formed, that travertine becomes a very popular decorative stone that is widely used in construction. The war monument on the Dam in Amsterdam and parts of the Colosseum in Rome are examples where travertine was used as a building stone.
