Protected cycle path (gravel). Essentially a straight line from Oelegem to Sint Job in 't Goor (connecting with the Schoten Canal). Despite its straightness, it's not endless and offers plenty of variety.

The tranquility and beautiful!

The Peerdsbos is a nature reserve in Schoten north of Antwerp. The name Peerdsbos first appeared in 1434 as “Peertsbusch”. The name is derived from the Middle Dutch 'Pertse' which means border post. For centuries, the Laarse Beek flowing past formed the border between the Roman provinces of Belgica Secunda and Germania Inferior and the dioceses of Cambrai and Liège that later emerged from this.

The area is located on the Brabantse Wal northwest of the Moretusbos. The Brabantse Wal is a Natura 2000 area of 4906 hectares to which the bird and habitat directives apply. The Reeberg estate is part of this. There are several elevations in the landscape in the area, such as the Galgenberg and the Tooverberg. The 18-meter-high Reeberg is located in the center of the estate. The deer that gave the hill its name are still found in the area today. The estate mainly consists of rationally divided coniferous plantations on fixed drifting sand dunes. There are a few small open areas covered with heather, and there is also an oak stand. The Rijnwaterloop, a deeply cut stream running from east to west, flows through the estate. The estate is crossed from north to south by a forest path called the Kronkelbosweg. In the north the forest area lies against the Kerkstraat orzoekweg and in the south against the Armendreef forest path.

Landgoed De Reeberg is a 24 hectare private estate in the Dutch municipality of Woensdrecht in the province of North Brabant. It is located between the villages of Putte and Ossendrecht, close to the border with Belgium. The estate is classified under the Natural Beauty Act 1928.

Peerdsbos through the ages... The name 'Peertsbusch' first appeared in an account from 1431 - 1432. The Peerdsbos was part of the Bremdonck domain, which consisted of fields, meadows and forest for timber and firewood and which was donated to the Antwerp Saint-Elisabeth Hospital by Isabella van Breda in 1280. Large parts of the domain were sold and parcelled out, which resulted in the creation of the Park of Brasschaat, among other things. Info, can be read at the Schoten domain entrance

The Peerdsbos is one of the most visited forests on the outskirts of Antwerp. The forest is a fun day trip for both families and nature lovers. The long straight avenues make walking with a buggy or wheelchair easy. In the middle of the forest you will find brasserie De Melkerij, where you can rest for a while while children romp in the adjacent playground or play a game of mini golf. On the edge of the forest there is the challenging Stoerwoud in the provincial sports center. More information on https://www.natuurenbos.be/peerdsbos
