    A bit of history...
    The Kravaalbos has an area of around 80 hectares and extends in the area of Aalst (Meldert), Asse and Opwijk (Mazenzele).
    It is a testament to the ancient «Koolwoud», which included the forest of Soignes and the forest of Halle. The forest was known for its quarries, which were managed by the Afflümmel Abbey from XII to XVI.
    The forest consists of alder, willow, but also chestnut, ash and oak.

      Quiet forest with a good chance of spotting deer

        The Kravaalbos is an ecologically valuable old-growth forest, characterized by its colorful spring flora. It is centrally located in the beautiful, gently rolling landscape between Aalst, Asse, and Opwijk. Here originate the streams that meander so charmingly through the landscape.
        The forest is accessible year-round on the paths. Sturdy shoes are recommended. In rainy weather, the paths become muddy and difficult to navigate. Not accessible for wheelchairs and strollers.
