4. Field crosses, sunken lanes, wild flowers …. Typical South-Limburg!

The many wayside crosses and chapels are typical for the country side of South-Limburg. Some of them originate from the time Christianity came to this region, possibly to replace older pagan shrines at crossroads.

The typical sunken lanes with their rich vegetation were created by water after heavy rain or melting snow plus the hoofs and wheels of local farmers’ carts. Only here the roads were not too steep.
