Tips

Geographically it is located on the escarpment between the Kempen Plateau (100m) and Vochtig-Haspengouw (60m). The upper part of this slope is quite steep. As a result, there is also quite a bit of relief in the area with streams that flow from the Kempen Plateau to the lower part with several ponds. Due to its location in a transitional area from the Kempen to Haspengouw, it connects two different landscape types and contains alternating coniferous forests, deciduous and mixed forests, hay and meadows and pond and marsh areas.

Part of the extended Munsterbos between Munsterbilzen and Lanaken. Beautiful mixed forest with variation of undergrowth of ferns, blueberry and holly.
