    Hiking

    Between the Meerdaal Forest and the Heverlee Forest, you'll find the observation tower called De Torenvalk. It's named after one of the birds you can observe here—the kestrel. A giant wooden specimen by artist Ad Wouters greets you.

    Climb the wooden tower (or take the elevator to the second floor) and enjoy the view. Or have fun in the adventurous play forest. Or test your agility on the Multimovepad.

    Gravel riding

    The lookout tower is literally a highlight you can't miss. From the top, you'll not only enjoy stunning views but also discover a wealth of stories and knowledge about the Brabantse Wouden.
