This is the former British army camp in Tongerlo. Many concrete roads still crisscross the area as a reminder of that time after WWII and the Cold War. You can also still see the typical army barrier posts at the edge of the Trienenkant.

Hiking

The Stassenbos is, together with the Sterschotsbos, a fragmented forest complex that was preserved because there used to be a military base. See also Domein Sterschotbos at komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/7498990
