Icon description route Description

This route passes by the Achtzalighedenboom, which is located between junctions 89 and 92.

The route is almost entirely unpaved. The tree, named after the eight beatitudes of Christ, derives its name from the original eight tribes. During the war, a German tried to saw a trunk at night to use the tree as firewood, but a sudden thunderstorm with heavy thunder and lightning scared him off, leaving the rest of the tree untouched.
