Geocache Description:


(FR) Au point frontière entre les villages de Thorembais-Saint-Trond, Thorembais-les-Béguines et Perwez se trouve une étrange pierre du Moyen-Age, « La Grosse Borne ». Selon la légende, au pied de cet étrange mégalithe, des sabbats endiablés y rassemblaient jadis de belles sorcières... Cette cache a été inaugurée le 23 octobre 2011 au cours de l’Event « CITO Perwez », le long de la balade de 5 km qui traverse Thorembais-Saint-Trond « La Grosse Borne » (visit link) .
(EN) The "Grosse Borne" (Great Boundary Stone) stands exactly on the point where three borders meet: the two villages of Thorembais and Perwez-town. Although some people consider it a megalith, it seems more likely that it is a seigniorial boundary stone. The inscription "Je faictle chesne Guillaume", which can still just be made out, is thought to refer to Guillaume de Louvain, lord of Perwez, and to an oak tree that used to mark the spot before the stone was put there. We do not know whether the oak was planted to mark the boundary or whether it was used for hangings, but legend would have it that beautiful witches used to gather there in the dead of night to hold their witches' sabbaths. This cache has been created on Oct 23rd, 2011 for the “CITO Perwez” Event. It is part of the 5 km multicache “La Grosse Borne” across Thorembais-Saint-Trond (visit link)
