A central avenue of 7 km long connects the Ravels Regional Forest from North to South. The avenue is named after Marneffe, the inventor of this pilot project.

Today many use the Marneffedreef to quickly go straight from north to south.

History: The wastelands were purchased by the Belgian state at the beginning of the 20th century (1903 - 1904). These lands consisted mainly of heathland. From 1906 the grounds were planted with Scots pines. The forest was a kind of experimental forest that examined how heathland could be converted into coniferous forests.

This pilot project to understand the quality of trees was important for the mining industry.

Station 8 is a stop on a very nice forest walk for young and old...

The Grave Ravenpad takes you on an adventure in the forests of Ravels and introduces you to long-forgotten folk tales from the region. And who knows, maybe some forest dwellers will cross your path?

Do you already know the IJle Prijen, Hugo de Raaf or the IJzeren Zeug?

Enjoy the special adventure...

Three IJle Prijen, Hugo de Raaf, the Iron Sow and a mysterious newborn animal are hidden in the Regional Forest in Ravels.

The hidden magic of the wooded area and the play in nature are central. During the walk you will discover the story of De IJle Prijen and the White Raafje, inspired by old Kempen folk tales.

Folk figures and mythical creatures are brought to life on narrative pictures. In addition, some local entrepreneurs made edible creations especially in the theme of this walk.
