Hazenberg is a reserve that is managed by Natuurpunt. Here you have the most beautiful view of Opvelp. The Hazenberg is a typical dry grassland, rich in plant species such as bevernel, bird's milk, piglet herb, centaury. The blue of the common speedwell is very striking. The spontaneous storage of dog rose also looks very attractive. The yellowhammer can undoubtedly be heard and seen here.

Hiking

I could easily walk through the small valley (or dale) with the two horses in my wake. The wooden gate has a rotating shutter. There are no signs with instructions or explanations, nor are there any prohibition signs. I could also walk to the end, where the barrier consisted of two larger, old metal gates with some wire that you can easily open and close. For the horses' safety, I think it's better to enter and exit through the gate.
