    Hiking

    The Vrijbos in Houthulst is one of the larger forests in West Flanders with its 350 hectares. It is an important place of pilgrimage because of the Lourdes grotto in the sub-domain Rotsebos. Deciduous trees set the tone in the Vrijbos, some of which are 100 years old. Woodpeckers, birds of prey, deer, bats and the bright yellow golden oriole are just a few of the many guests in the Vrijbos. Don't be fooled by the tranquility because it is teeming with life!
