't Geregt

(5.0 km)

Adjacent to Mariahout is 't Geregt/Lijnt (Meierijstad). A wide forest path runs parallel to the canal here, which was formerly used as a shortcut from Beek en Donk to Veghel. The old oaks give the current sandy path an avenue-like character. The name 't Geregt' refers to the place where, until the end of the 18th century, legal punishments were carried out. There was a gallows (map 1752) near the prehistoric burial mound. This mound has a diameter of 15 metres and a height of about 80 centimetres. This point also served as a border point between Veghel, Lieshout and Erp. To the southwest of the burial mound, shifting dunes are still visible from the topsoil ridge.
