This small nature reserve is 1.68 hectares in size and is classified as a landscape because of its natural-scientific and cultural-historical value. A variety of old and rare plants grow here and you can admire many spring bloomers here.

May / June you can enjoy the many wild garlic. A beautiful path of the wild garlic in bloom with a beautiful flower on it. The smell hits you like this when you walk into the woods. A decking path with a rest bench has been created. Muggenboskenstraat, Rode Haagstraat (Nieuwerkerken)
The Muggenbos, a historically stable forest, is a relic of a very large forest complex that was reclaimed during the 19th century. Typical elements such as a forest embankment, coppice stoves, pollard trees and the irregular pattern of paths testify to the way in which people managed the forest centuries ago.
