The Hallerbos is part of the Flemish Ecological Network, has been a Flemish nature reserve since 2021 and is European protected as a 'Natura 2000 area'. The hilly Hallerbos is a crowd favorite thanks to a beautiful purple carpet of wild hyacinths and white wood anemones, which bloom around mid-April. This creates enchanting and magical images every year. Photographers and nature lovers from far beyond our national borders come to visit this special forest. Forests with so many bluebells are unique in the world.
