Museum in Vlaams-Brabant
Collection of blocks of landenian sandstone (in open air and accessible at will) and petrified trunks (in-house, visit during week-ends of June to September or on appointment), and geological information boards.
A first batch of stones and woods were unearthed in 1970-1971 during the construction of the motorway E.40, another batch in 1999-2001 during the construction of the High Speed Train track, running parallel to each others.
As many standing stones of the region are of the same type of stone, do visit this unusual museum as well.
The coordinates correspond to the entrance of the site. A small car park is provided nearby.
Road description : From road N.221 linking Tienen to Hoegaarden, obey your Sat Nav and, on the S-W side of the motorway E.40, take the Reugelstraat for about 900 m (a country road, simply consisting of two concrete stripes).
Pleasant area, despite some background noise from the motorway and the trains ; a very popular spot for joggers, cyclists, etc.
