Sunken lanes are a historic landscape feature and provide an important natural corridor and habitat in the agricultural landscape. Badgers love these locations because the steep, vegetated walls provide ideal locations for their burrows.

A sunken road is a road that is so deeply worn that it lies between two slopes. It is the result of centuries of use and erosion. The most beautiful sunken roads can be found especially in hilly areas with a subsoil that easily forms steep walls, such as in Haspengouw and Hageland.
