Tips

November 13, 2020

The 500 ha Walenbos is a vast, wild, wet and inhospitable nature reserve. It is one of the most important nature reserves in the Hageland. The forest is home to the largest alder forest in Flanders. The name of the forest is said to refer to the area's soggy, wet subsoil. Untouched nature is trump card here in this green pearl. Here you can relax and enjoy true untouched nature!

Beautiful forest, those who come for a walk here often have to brave the mud. So rubber boots are recommended. You can connect from here to the Troostenbergbos.

Also on 11/02/2022, good hiking boots with a high shaft are not a superfluous luxury.

If it may be a little more than water...

Best to visit with rubber boots, it can sometimes be "greasy", like today(17/10/2021)

Beautiful forest with many tall deciduous trees. The paths on the swampy side. After weeks without rain, still some wet spots on the paths.. Found it a quiet forest, you don't pick up any ambient sounds here.
