Tips
In Zuidelijk Meerdaalwoud runs the valley of the Warandebeek, containing the Warandvijver. An idyllic spot with a picnic bench in the middle of the large forest.

The Warandevijver pond was built by order of the Duke of Arenberg some 300 years ago. At that time, Meerdaalwoud was the dukes' hunting grounds. A "warande" (warden) often refers to a (closed) hunting area and/or open space where game was kept. It's a lovely picnic bench where I used to picnic with my parents decades ago.
