Cycling

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.

Hiking

On the border of the poor Kempen and fertile Haspengouw lies the Munsterbos. Northeast of the village center of Munsterbilzen, 450 hectares of forests, ponds, marshes, and grasslands stretch out. Here and there, even a patch of purple heather peeks through. The area is so special due to its location on the transition from the sandy Kempen Plateau to the Haspengouw clay region.
