Hiking
The statue of the 'Zandjan', made by Daniël Schelfhout, stands in the middle of the town square. The statue symbolizes the typical Brabant-Kempen profession of the past: the sand walker. The sand was dug from the heathland, washed until it was beautifully white and then sold in wheelbarrows as far as Mechelen. The white sand was used to sprinkle the living room floor.
