    Hiking

    Between the Maldegemveld and the West Flemish border lie several scattered woodlands, including the Torrebos (or Kapellebos), the Lange Swiss, and the Kallekesbos. Together, they form the Burkel nature reserve.
    Previously, the Kallekesbos was inaccessible. Now, Natuurpunt (Nature Point) is pleased to open it to nature-loving hikers. Management focuses on restoration, forest expansion, and accessibility. Volunteers keep the paths clear and remove intrusive non-native tree species.
    Two walking routes are listed on the information board.
