Hiking
The woods were part of a vast forest called ‘Grotenbos’ at the time. In the 17th and 18th centuries they were largely in the hands of the Herkenrode Abbey. The E313 and Diestersteenweg and the partial conversion of forest to fields and meadows caused fragmentation. However, in the core of the area there is still a nature reserve with, among other things, an oak forest with heather in the undergrowth.
