The main entrance to the otherwise completely private Savenel estate, a large section of the southern Meerdaal Forest. The Savenel estate has a rather special history. It is completely walled, and the walk around the wall, "Promenade des murs," is well-known to many hikers from Leuven, and especially from the south of Leuven.

There's a four-kilometer "Promenade des Murs" and a longer version, see grez-doiceau.be/office-du-tourisme/nos-balades/les-balades-classiques/les-balades-classiques/bal-nethen-les-murs.pdf

You can park at the cultural center diagonally across from the war memorial - see komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7671701. The former tram station is also near the starting point, see komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7671773
