It's like at the zoo! Everywhere you can find huge wooden artworks, sculptures depicting animals that you might see here. So if someone asks you if you've seen a hawk, a salamander, a marten or a snake, you can say yes without lying!

Ad Wouters is a sculptor and woodcarver who was born in the Netherlands, moved to Haasrode quite young and started doing art after an accident. He made various sculptures in Meerdaalwoud, Heverleebos and a few other places in Leuven. He uses dead oak trees for his wood carvings. There is also a fairly well-known path from Ad that starts in the arboretum of Heverlee: toerismevlaamsbrabant.be/producten/wandelen/het-pad-van-ad

Here, at the walking area at and behind De Torenvalk, you can see several of Ad's wood carvings.
