Hiking

Currently, there are works on the path next to the Keizer Karelvijver. At the pond, a beech avenue was once created at the request of Archduchess Isabella. Besides works around the pond (and maintenance works a few years earlier), it is possible that works at the pond will be restarted. Indeed, since 2025 it has been suggested to turn the pond into a kind of public swimming pond. Whether it will come to that remains to be seen, of course.
