Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 44 out of 46 hikers
The Vinderhoutse Bossen, like the Parkbos, the Gentbrugse Meersen, the Wonderwoud, and the Bourgoyen - Ossemeersen - Blaarmeersen - Sneppemeersen area, is considered one of Ghent's five green hubs. It is still in full development. A total of approximately 155 hectares of additional forest have been and are being planted in various phases.
The entire project area covers over 640 hectares across the territories of Ghent (the municipalities of Mariakerke and Drongen) and Lievegem (the municipality of Vinderhoute). The Vinderhoutse Bossen green hub has three gateways that serve as starting points for your visit: the Campagne (Drongen), Claeys-Boúúaert Park (Mariakerke), and Leeuwenhof (Drongen, here). These three gateways are connected by a walking network.
