The Chartreuzenbos is a forest in the Belgian municipality of Holsbeek and is part of one of the most important nature reserves in Hageland. The forest is approximately 70 hectares in size. The Chartreuzenbos is protected in Europe as part of the Natura 2000 area 'Valleien van de Winge en de Motte met valleihellingen' (BE2400012). The name refers to the former owners, the monastery of the Carthusians of Leuven.

Beautiful forest with variety, very pleasant walk through the different beautiful views that you find in the forest.

The Chartreuse Forest offers MTB'ers a challenging mix of narrow paths, technical sections and breathtaking nature. The route winds through dense forests, with elevation changes that are a pleasure for both beginners and advanced riders.

At the end of the 18th century, the flatter parts of the so-called Kesselberg consisted mainly of heathland. On the Ferraris map (1777) the area is mentioned as 'Vlierbeekse heide'. The surrounding slopes were already forested at that time. This was the case for most of the Lindenbos and the steep slopes east of the main avenue in the Chartreuzenbos, the northern slope towards Holsbeek and the current Kesselberg. The heath was later converted into agricultural land, later a large part of this area became birch fields and the western part of the Chartreuz Forest became forested. Until the French Revolution, the area surrounding the Chartreuz Forest was the property of the Carthusian Order. In the period of the Brabant revolution (1789) and the French invasion (1792), the goods of the churches and monasteries were secularized and dissolved. Quite a few of those properties came into the hands of OCMWs. For example, a number of plots in the Chartreuzenbos also became the property of the OCMW of Leuven. However, most of the Linden and Chartreuzenbos came into the hands of private owners.

Forest of the Carthusians Where does the Chartreuzenbos get its name from? Very easy. Until the French Revolution, the area was owned by the Carthusian order 'les pères Chartreux'. At that time the area consisted mainly of heathland. Only later did it become wooded. Nowadays, the former heathland is recovering in a clearing in the middle of the forest. In the east and northeast of the domain, steep slopes form the transition to the Winge Valley.

There are currently a few trees on the trail
