Tervuren Park Ponds

Highlight • Lake

In the park of Tervuren on the edge of the Sonian Forest there are several large ponds. Here in this park you will also find the Africa Museum. During the world exhibition of 1958 an African village was rebuilt here with real African inhabitants. When it turned out that these people were not resistant to the climate this "exhibition" was stopped.

Regardless of how many paths, lanes, avenues, and other sunken roads converge here, this place is known as the Zevenster (Seven Star). And in the middle lie those famous stones. They too have a name: together, they form the Duisburg Dolmen Stone. Specifically, it refers to three remaining fragments of this Dolmen Stone, which originally, in their unbroken state, had a diameter of approximately 2.45 meters.

The stone (a chunk of quartzite, or compressed sandstone) was unearthed in 1883 in a field near Duisburg. Locals initially thought it was an impacted meteorite, which subsequently earned it the name "dry thunderstone." After considerable debate, it is now believed to be polishing stones. So, no remains of a megalithic monument, although several Stone Age artifacts have been found in the Sonian Forest.

The stone was unbroken when it was found. This happened during its transport to the Warande Park or the Warande (Tervuren Park) here, where it was brought by horse and cart in 1897 and was a showpiece at the World's Fair—although the 267 Congolese who were forcibly brought to Belgium to be exhibited as animals in a zoo that same year likely attracted more attention.

The Zevenster itself is, of course, a rather special spot with all its avenues and paths converging. You can enjoy it from various benches, including a picnic table and a "wooden throne." Incidentally, the Zevenster isn't that old. In the past, it was entirely laid out in a checkerboard pattern.

The redevelopment of the Warande, with a star-shaped instead of checkerboard pattern, took place under Charles of Lorraine in the eighteenth century. Quote: "The Warande itself also received a thorough facelift, and the original checkerboard pattern was changed to a star-shaped layout, with the various avenues converging into the 'Zevenster'."
