Hiking

The Hotond-Scherpenberg, also known as 'The Roof of Flanders', is a largely wooded witness hill whose shape betrays what the landscape looked like in the past.
Put on your hiking boots and climb to the highest point of East Flanders. A winding footpath that occasionally turns into stairs takes you to a height of 150 meters and the source area of the Molenbeek. You will also encounter a 'Boom meter' on this route. Use the step and stay on top of the trees.
Enjoy the old stately trees, the green mosaic.
Every season has its color palette here.

Hiking

It's a shame that more and more forest trails are no longer allowed. Some places are even designated as private and off-limits.
