In 1970 the Heiderbos nature reserve was established to protect the largest remaining juniper population in Flanders. In addition to the conifers, there are also various types of heather, numerous breeding birds, amphibians, reptiles and insects.

Between the forests of this piece of natural beauty you will find sparse grasslands with creeping broom, gorse and gorse. In this prickly environment you regularly hear the beautiful song of the woodlark and the vibrating sound of the nightjar. You can also bump into a shepherd with his flock of sheep on the way here. Be sure to look down during your trip; you will discover a fascinating world of invertebrates and insects.
