The Munsterbos is located on the border of the poor Kempen and the fertile Haspengouw. Northeast of the village center of Munsterbilzen extends 450 hectares of forests, ponds, swamps and grasslands. Here and there even a patch of purple heather pops up. Stroll through the avenues and past picturesque chapels.
