Description

Part of the path is a hollow road. A hollow road is an indication that this road has existed for centuries, because such a hollow road is literally hollow eroded in combination with entry. You can already see this path drawn on the Ferraris map of the end of the 18th century.

In the part of the path where the hollow road occurs, it is often soggy because you are at a source level here. 250m to the southeast you will find a source behind the car garage. This clay from the Ypresian, which causes a spring a little further on, causes this path to be soggy here. That clay layer is located at 45 m above sea level here, and therefore almost comes to the surface here.

By the way, did you know that there is a legend that says that Saint Getrude got stuck in the clay here. And so you get a link between geology, religion, legends and the place name of the nearby village of Sint-Gertrudis-Pede.
