The Peerdsbos is one of the most visited forests on the outskirts of Antwerp. The forest is a great day trip for families and nature lovers. The long straight lanes make walking with a buggy or wheelchair easy. In the middle of the forest you will find brasserie De Melkerij, where you can take a rest while children romp in the adjacent playground or play a game of mini golf. At the edge of the forest there is the challenging Stoerwoud in the provincial sports center.

A prime hiking area in the verdant Brasschaat is the 149-hectare Peerdsbos.
You'll walk through deciduous woodland with oak and beech, interspersed with Scots pine. Who knows, you might even encounter a deer or a fox during your exploration?
Activate your senses and enjoy this vast green lung.

The Peerdsbos is a nature reserve in Schoten north of Antwerp. The name Peerdsbos first appeared in 1434 as “Peertsbusch”. The name is derived from the Middle Dutch 'Pertse' which means border post. For centuries, the Laarse Beek flowing past formed the border between the Roman provinces of Belgica Secunda and Germania Inferior and the dioceses of Cambrai and Liège that later emerged from this.
