The Leeuwenhof domain is not located in the city centre at all, as suggested here, but is located about 5 km west of the historic city centre.
It is one of the 3 official access zones to the green pool Vinderhoutse Bossen.
In addition to a pond with a seating platform, you will find many valuable grasslands, old trees, an orchard and natural play stimuli here. In the north, the domain connects to the valuable historic forest core of the Vinderhoutse Bossen. You can start here or join one of the 5 walking routes through the green pool.
