    The Steentjesbos is a smaller forest in the north of the municipality of Kampenhout. Together with the Schiplakenbos, the Snijsselsbos and the Hellebos-Rotbos area, the Steentjesbos forms a green corridor between the municipalities of Berg, Perk, Elewijt, Kampenhout and Hever (Schiplaken).



    The core area of the Steentjesbos consists of a mixed deciduous forest with a characteristic spring flora such as wood anemone, valleywort, dark-spored forest violet, primrose and single berry. The mix of deciduous trees and conifers ensures a varied fauna in the pebble forest. You may see the beautiful goldcrest or nuthatch along the coniferous groves. You can also spot great spotted woodpecker, middle spotted woodpecker, lesser spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker, black woodpecker, nuthatch, treecreeper, buzzard, matkop, sparrowhawk and hawk. Roe deer, rabbit, hare and common pipistrelle are regularly sighted in the forest.

      It is very quiet here for walking. Insect spray is recommended

        Sturdy walking shoes needed after a rain shower.
