Very nice piece of nature and because of its location very quiet, except on Sundays.
You regularly encounter deer, especially in the morning.

Achtzaligheden Tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Achtzamehedenboom is a coarse fly near the Rollekensberg in the Lilse woods. The tree is known for its capricious shape. The Achtzamehedenboom has been a tourist attraction for years. Named after the eight beatitudes of Christ, the tree gets its name from the fact that it originally had eight trunks. Just before the Second World War, however, one diseased trunk would have been sawn off, in order to prevent further contamination of the tree. According to another story, poachers sawed off the tribe to take revenge on a forest ranger who had caught them earlier. His exact age could not be determined with certainty. It is estimated that it dates from around 1850. The tree was already mentioned in a work about the most remarkable trees in Belgium from 1910.

Warandeplas

Highlight • Lake

The Warandeplas is an extensive body of water that lies between the forests of Rollekensbergen and the Visbeek valley, an extremely valuable and extremely varied nature reserve. It is a beautiful location for walking, cycling and enjoying nature. There is even a zone where your dog can freely enter the water. In 2016 a sheep grid was placed around the Warandeplas in function of the grazing by sheep. In this way variation is ensured in the structure of the landscape with a mosaic of forest, shrubs and open areas.

Well hidden from most visitors to the Lilse Bergen, very nice for walking.
Especially the tree roots are typical.
