Description by the author

Maurice Portray werd geboren te Nossegem op 4 maart 1896. Hij werd dokter in de geneeskunde aan de VUB. Hij was verscheidene jaren dokter in Kongo en scheepsdokter. Later vestigde hij zijn dokterspraktijk te Nossegem in zijn oudershuis. In 1946 werd hij voor het eerst burgemeester van Nossegem voor een periode van 24 jaar. De wandeling ligt langs beide zijden van de oude weg Kortenberg-Zaventem-Brussel. De sage wil dat kruisvaarders die terug kwamen van de eerste kruistocht geleid door Godfried van Bouillon vanaf 1095 eerst gezien werden door de wachter op de toren van Treurenberg, een van de Brusselse stadstorens. Het nieuws verspreidde zich vlug en de vrouwen liepen hem tegemoet tot in Nossegem en Kortenberg.
