The Schransbossen
Highlight • Forest
The local name for these forests is the ‘Schransbossen’, after the double schrans with hawthorn and blackthorn hedge in the forest. At that location, the cattle traders, on their way to the Anderlecht slaughterhouse, would have housed their cattle at night and thus protected them relatively easily from cattle thieves. This part of the area has only been forested for a few decades. A remnant of that double schrans is still visible.
