Wayside Chapel with Bench

Highlight • Religious Site

Initially, the chapel was called the ‘Chapel of the Vossenbos’. After the heath was reclaimed in 1923 and the Vossenbos was cleared after 1945, a meadow and a new forest area were created. In the period 1952-1955, a reserve NATO airfield was built in this area of Oostmalle-Zoersel. The chapel owes its existence to the establishment of this airfield. The pious surveyor Housset, who carried out the measurements, had expressed the wish to place a Maria chapel along the road to the airfield. He donated the statue of Maria and the sum of 450 francs.

Kruis van Blommerschot

Highlight • Monument

The forest cross, which lies against the border of Oostmalle and Zoersel, was built on a six-way junction in 1931 long before the construction of the E34. There is a funny anecdote attached to it. Around 1930, the naturist association De Spar opened a nudist area fifty meters away. In a self-built 'nudarium' they practiced nude swimming and nude gymnastics.
The local residents spoke of the 'exposure holes' and told about the many untold things that happened there. Legend has it that a poacher encountered eight naked women during his nighttime trek through the forest. He fell asleep at a crossroads of lanes and woke up the next day with no trace of his nighttime adventure. The pastor was so impressed by the poacher's story that he had the cross of Blommerschot erected there to chase the 'witches' away.
