The Krankhoevebos is a nature reserve located in the municipality of Bonheiden, in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. The forest is one of the larger green areas in the region and is a popular place for hikers and nature lovers. The forest is part of a wider network of nature reserves in the region and offers a peaceful and natural environment.

The Krankhoevebos is originally a mixed deciduous forest, which means that you can find different types of trees there, such as oaks, beeches, and hazelnuts. It is a versatile area, with both open spaces and densely vegetated areas, which ensures a rich biodiversity. This also makes the forest attractive to birdwatchers, as there are different bird species in the area.

There are several walking routes through the forest, allowing visitors to explore nature at their own pace. The area is also accessible to cyclists, depending on the route.

In addition to its natural value, the Krankhoevebos also has historical significance. It is located in the region that used to be part of the more agricultural landscapes near Bonheiden. Today the forest is an oasis of tranquility and a beautiful place to escape from busy city life.
