Icon description route Description

On this route, one passes the Alvinnenberg, where, according to legend, alvermannetjes lived and were active.

Alvermannetjes, alvermannetjes or aardmannetjes were reportedly a friendly type of dwarfs or elves who helped poor people and farmers at night with their daily tasks. They often completed the work that was not finished during the day.

As soon as darkness fell, the alvermannetjes emerged from the mountain where they hid during the day. They would silently clean the house, milk the cows, shear the sheep, wash the clothes, paint the walls, or harvest the grain from the fields. In return, they were provided with food and sometimes clothing by the people.

Tuesday, February 18, 2025 by M.J.Nice route but as a starting point I would recommend node 17 because there is sufficient parking at the Luihoeve ( Bredestraat 62 Meerhout)
