With the forecast of summery temperatures for the coming days, this is the ideal walk. Lots of shade on this walk through the woods of the Galgenberg. It is not a flat walk; the first uphill is the toughest at 24 m up. Subsequently, wavy and flat sections alternate with a marshy part where the frogs noisily croak in the beautiful natural pond. Definitely worth taking this walk.

Bench(es): including at 1.5, 3.1, and 4.5 km.

Sunday, May 31, 2026 by Kris DehamersA pleasant walk through Natuurpunt’s largest nature reserve. Shady forest trails, hedge paths, forest edges, and ponds. Mostly unpaved. A varied and enjoyable walk. Small parking lot at the start.
