Geocache Description:

Crosses along ancient ways - Wegkreuze #2


Art History Landscape

View from the Statue

Caches that bring you to interesting crosses that have been placed along ancient ways.

We have seen this statue so many times when travelling south.
You can see from the above picture the magnificent look from there over the landscape.
Clearly this location deserves a Cache being placed there.

So far we do not know much about this statue.

  • Why was it placed there on this solitary location?
  • Who placed it there?
  • Is some history attached to this?
Maybe the people visiting this cache can provide some further information on this nice statue (like this one from boekiezoekie).

Thanks to Exile® the following information on the statue could be found:
It seems to be the "Virgin Mary with the golden heart" ("La Vierge au coeur d'or") who appeared 33 times between 11/29/1932 and 01/03/1933 to 5 children in Beauraing.

Please bring your own pen.
Please be careful when putting back the Micro - it does not fit in all the way.

Enjoy the view!
