Explore the Philipsbos or - as it used to be called - the Bouwelse Heide of approximately 43 hectares. The Philipsbos is a mixed forest with numerous lanes, a water feature and some heather stocks. Here mainly Scots pine, pedunculate oak and birch are found alongside some exotic species such as American oak, Norway spruce and Corsican pine. Everyone is welcome to discover the forest and children can let off steam in the specially designed play area.
