You're standing at the Sandstone Blocks geological monument, in the southwest of the Vijlenerbos forest, at a spot called Zevenwegen, Seven Ways. Look at the big stones around you. They have strange, twisted shapes. They might seem to have landed here by chance, but they didn't. The forestry service found them scattered around the area and gathered them here.
