Hiking

The name of the area is taken from the Belgian diplomat Emile-Ernest de Cartier de Marchienne. His father, Mr. Paul-Emile de Cartier de Marchienne, bought the Duizels Hof, located near this heath, in 1863 and later passed into the hands of his son. Emile-Ernest de Cartier de Marchienne later became the owner of the heath and used it, among other things, as a hunting ground.
