Hiking

Wintershoven was first mentioned in writing in 976, as Villa Wintreshovo. The suffix -hoven indicates a Frankish origin. Wintres would refer to a proper name: the farm of Winidahari. The Roman presence is evident from the fact that the main road from Tongeren crossed the territory of the later Wintershoven in a northerly direction. Partly due to the activities in the seventh century of evangelists such as Bavo of Ghent, Amandus, and their followers, Wintershoven became an important ecclesiastical center in the early Middle Ages. Many of them were canonized (the Saints of Wintershoven) and have been venerated since then.
