Tips

April 8, 2025

If you walk from Bertembos to the Eikenbos (or vice versa) you will inevitably come to the Bosstraat that connects Bertem with Veltem-Beisem at some point. At this crossing of the road you will find an information board about Bertembos and the nature reserve De Koeheide that lies south of Bertembos. Of course, that Natuurpunt sign is not there for no reason. At this location there is a parking lot (where the Bosstraat and the short Oude Bertembosstraat meet) and at the same time one of the three starting points where you can start one of the Natuurpunt routes.

The rest you can see on the board and on the spot and on the walking map and info (see the three arrows with the three starting points) on natuurpunt.be/natuurgebieden/koeheide#kaart

By the way, you also have beautiful views here if you walk along the Bosstraat, because you are almost at the highest point of this fairly busy connecting road between the highway from Leuven to Brussels via Kortenberg and the highway from Leuven to Tervuren. Irrelevant info: one of my nieces lives at the end of the Bosstraat, so don't honk when you drive here ;)
