Lovenhoek is a nature reserve of more than 145 hectares with a surprisingly many different habitats for plants and animals. Central was the hamlet of Lovenhoek, where several farms stood until the beginning of the last century. On the dry sandy soils around it you found fields with wooden edges and extensive heathlands. Except for some remains, the entire heather landscape was converted into coniferous forests. In damper places in the area you will find valuable deciduous forests.

Hiking

Lovenhoek and by extension the lesser known Molenbos are commendable. Many have gone before us, due to the success parking at the Boskant is no longer possible. Free parking is offered at the riding school 'Dennenruiters'. Walking through Lovenhoek is enjoying changing landscapes.
Applause for Natuurpunt and for the many who have gone before us to enter this piece of nature reserve respectfully.
