Hiking
The Kravaalbos covers an area of approximately 80 hectares and extends across the municipalities of Aalst (Meldert), Asse, and Opwijk (Mazenzele).
It is a remnant of the ancient "Koolwoud," which encompassed the Soignes Forest and the Halle Forest. The forest was known for its quarries, which were operated by Affligem Abbey from the 12th to the 16th centuries.
The forest consists of alder and willow trees, as well as chestnut, ash, and oak.
