    Hiking

    Since time immemorial there was an elongated forest along the Babbelkroonbeek, known as the Langbos. Except for a few relics, this forest disappeared after the Second World War. At the initiative of Natuurpunt and in collaboration with private owners, this forest was replanted in the autumn of 2013 after more than 60 years of absence by schools, youth associations and numerous Kontichnaars. As a result, the forest stock with its spring flora of wood anemone and valley herb increases again to 3 ha.

    Hiking

    The landscaped decking path ensures that you can enjoy the Babbelse Plassen dry-footed. The Babbelse Plassen (approx. 3.5 ha) consists of a semi-open landscape, lined with rows of pollard willows and wooded edges. In 2012, the province (Integral Water Policy Department) constructed a new water retention system here with spacious shallow pools, wide pond berms and a winding free passage of the Babbelkroonbeek. The Babbelse Plassen thus form new nature that also guarantees to protect the downstream municipality of Lint from flooding.
