Tips

June 20, 2024

If you walk here from Vaalbeek past the white houses on the walking path, it seems as if you are entering a small paradise. Yet not everyone is satisfied with these areas of heathland. A little further north (towards the forest reserve 'De Grote Omheining', the only forest reserve in Heverleebos), there is a larger section that is reminiscent of the Kempen. Signs remind us of the importance of diverse management, but before open areas can develop, trees are cut down and this has caused several protests in Heverleebos over the years. The Dijleland Nature Study Group wrote a detailed text some time ago about the necessity and results of this forest management in which open spaces and heathland play a role. You can read it at natuurstudiegroepdijleland.be/visietekst-bosbeheer And it is also very beautiful.

On the edge of Heverleebos near Vaalbeek, pieces of forest have been cut down to once again create a hectic landscape and more diversity. A bench invites you to enjoy this beautiful piece of heathland.
