Boardwalk on Stilts

Highlight • Bridge

It's always fun to walk on butterfly trails and it keeps your feet dry in very wet weather.

This view into the distance is simply wonderful - you can indulge and enjoy and please decide for yourself: Does heaven kiss earth or vice versa? Or is the horizon anyway a unit that is divided solely by your considerations into above and below? Pretty philosophical, hiking in Flanders...

Muziekbos Rope Trail

Highlight • Trail

A nice winding walking path through the Muziekbos.
The ropes help many hikers to a higher or lower level.

In the middle of the forest lies the fairytale Geuzen Tower. It was built on a dolmen. Here - according to legend - the poets Karel Maria Polydoor (Pol) de Mont and Omer Wattez coined the name "Flemish Ardennes".

Poet and author (today one would say activist) Wattez (1857-1935) lived in a time when Flemish language, culture and way of life was suppressed. Seeing one's own homeland as an attractive travel destination was already considered a political issue and also a bit crazy, then giving the whole thing a poetic name - "Flemish Ardennes" - was a courageous act of emancipation, almost a coming out.

Even then, Wattez was striving for a balance between man and nature - albeit more out of a romantic understanding and less for ecological reasons - and fought against the pollution of the Scheldt.

Muziekbos Play Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Music Forest, which overlooks the Flemish Ardennes on a million-year-old witness hill, is highly recommended for nature lovers. Although you can fully enjoy the melody of rustling leaves, the forest actually has nothing to do with music. It owes its name to the Celtic translation of 'swamp': 'Muz'. Tip: in the spring (April/May) you can enjoy a carpet of blooming bluebells. In the music forest you can walk along the designated paths, children can have fun in the two play zones.

Deurnis Art Installation

Highlight • Monument

Photo tip! On your walk to the neighboring municipality of Maarkedal, you will come across the 'Deurnis'. A cheerful and functional work of art by Jan Detavernier. This 'portal to nature' offers an incredibly beautiful view of the meadows from the sofa.
