't Fonteintje, Nature area and pilgrimage site in Beringen, Belgium.

The recreational domain encompasses a chapel, forest paths, and a 27.5-meter lookout tower offering views across the Kempen landscape.

In 1826, a man named Swartelbroeke discovered a spring after getting lost on the heathland, leading to the construction of a chapel in 1833.

The chapel of Our Lady at the Stake contains 18th-century paintings of the Holy Trinity and wooden sculptures that reflect local religious traditions.

The Watersnip Visitor Center provides information about the area while multiple walking trails and a fitness course extend through the 220-hectare forest.

The eastern section connects to a military complex, where cyclists can access a dedicated path to Hechtel during daylight hours.
