Description
Take a moment to lose yourself in the beautiful sunken paths of the Chartreuzenbos, wonderfully cool in the summer and safely sheltered from wind and rain in the winter. Children can romp around in the play forest, and there’s a small semicircular theater that makes for a great picnic spot. You’ll climb the slopes of the Chartreuzenberg until you reach a plateau at the top. Can you see the vines of the Chartreuzenberg winery? Winemaker Herman Van Goidsenhoven crafts the finest white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines from the grapes that grow here.

Tuesday, May 2, 2023 by J.B.Beautiful hike with lots of variety and nice rest points. However, halfway between points 17 and 11 there is a muddy strip ( +/- 50 meters) in which you sink above your ankles. During wetter periods a pair of boots and extra shoes is recommended, otherwise you'd better avoid this stretch (17-11).

Sunday, September 19, 2021 by M.M.Nice hike! Beautiful views interspersed with forest trails. Hugely crowded because we did this one in the middle of lockdown at corona time. We will definitely do this one again at a hopefully quieter time.

Monday, May 25, 2020 by Sandy SeghersHike done with 2 little practiced hikers of 4 and 6 years old.
They found the forest a bit "scary" in the beginning, we also had fairly cloudy weather and then it is a fairly dark forest, at least for our little walkers.
For the rest it was a beautiful walk, through the forest and along beautiful fields. Occasionally a tough climb, but the kids love that! Topper!

First through flat fields and then into the forest. Lovely up and down. The route is not too difficult. As inexperienced hikers it took us three hours with lunch break included ;-) At regular intervals there are nice benches to enjoy the birds in the forest.
The junctions are clear everywhere except the very last one to get to junction 1. There we had to turn left to the church and the sign was not sufficiently visible.
