Summer oak as boundary tree

This summer linden, located on the border between Vechmaal and Oreye, as well as the border between Flanders and Wallonia, is a boundary tree. This boundary tree is planted on the western verge of the road, at the spot where the municipal and regional boundary bends to the west of the road. Such trees were once planted as a kind of border guard, as a beacon and a tool for the representatives of the legal authority who knew where they could exercise their legal powers, and furthermore, boundary conflicts were thus avoided.
