The tree of Tjenne
The name "Tjenne" refers to a certain Johanna Michiels, who was accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death after a two-year trial in 1667.
Her sentence was pronounced at the foot of the giant tree at the crossroads of four municipalities: Helshoven, Gotem, Mettekoven and Voort. Johanna Machiels was burnt at the stake a few hundred metres away, at the highest point of the hill.
From the Tjenne tree, you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of several villages in Heers, Sint-Truiden and Borgloon.
