The Lavalei nature reserve is characterized by swamp forest, reed land and wet meadows, where beavers are active. Please wear appropriate footwear as it can be muddy.

Idyllic location where you can make a beautiful picturesque memory of the Laan. Enjoy this relaxing point where the Laan meanders in the landscape. If you look through the frame here you have a nice view. Almost a painting. What title would you give to this beautiful landscape? In the border of the box you have a list of possible titles. Do not forget to capture your moment with this framed landscape on the sensitive plate.

Hiking

As the name suggests, the state nature reserve ‘Rodebos en Laanvallei’ is located in the Laanvallei. The Laan, as a tributary of the Dijle, is still one of the gems of the Dijleland and has cut into the plateau about 50m deep at the level of the reserve. On the eastern flank of the Laanvallei we find the Rodebos. The reserve is now over 100ha in size and is managed by the Agency for Nature and Forests (ANB) of the Flemish Community.
