Hiking

You will find this place not too far from the Leysensmolen, you have to cross the road for it (Zandstraat) or leave the parking lot, close to the main road from Lommel (Kattenbos) to Leopoldsburg

Hiking

Hoefijzerven is located in the heart of the Kattenbosserheide heathland in Bosland. This tranquil body of water is an oasis for plants, insects, and amphibians in the open heathland. 🌿💧

Hiking

Along the Hoefijzerven, the pines display their impressive root systems. The loose sand reveals the roots, spreading them like a network across the slope. This helps them hold the soil in place and protect the landscape from erosion.

During a walk in Bosland, you'll see how trees literally carry the landscape. A place where the power of nature and tranquility converge.
