The best mountain hikes around Bunderbos

Sint-Pietersberg offers a unique mosaic of open chalk grasslands and light-permeable forests, worth visiting for every nature lover. On the 'Sint-Pietersberg' you will feel like you are in a foreign country. Where else can you find such beautiful hills and such a special marl landscape? The Plateau of Caestert consists of valuable slope forests and chalk grasslands, a rare biotope in Flanders. Beneath the forests and grasslands are unique marl quarries, which form a true paradise for a dozen species of bats.

The Neercanne castle is built on the original site of Roman fortifications whose caves still exist and are used as a wine cellar. In the hall, the original staircase with a railing on wide columns is still present. Weapon trophies are depicted in relief on the ceiling. Currently, the castle is used as a hotel and restaurant. The restaurant has been awarded one star by the Michelin Guide.

Great city center and at Christmas and all the lights it's really worth it :)

Very challenging and very steep. Be careful here. There is a rope, best to use it.

Deep in the marl hills of Valkenburg lie the famous Neolithic flint mines, one of the oldest industrial sites in the Netherlands. People dug marl here as early as 2800 BC to extract flint, a hard rock used for tools such as arrowheads, knives, and axes. The tunnels extend dozens of meters beneath the hill and offer an impressive glimpse into how our distant ancestors shaped their habitat. The mines are unique and offer insights into the daily life and technological knowledge of the first farmers and hunters in South Limburg. Over the centuries, the tunnels have sometimes been flooded, subsided, or partially collapsed, but the traces of mining are still clearly visible. Today, parts of the flint mines can be visited via guided tours or special routes where you can literally follow in the footsteps of people from 5,000 years ago.

The Peeking Wall is a characteristic wall that often serves a special or mysterious function in the landscape. The name suggests it's a place for "peeking" or watching, for example, a wall along a path or plot of land that allows one to sneak a peek without being seen. In many cases, a Peeking Wall has a historical or cultural background, such as an old property boundary, a garden wall, or a prominent border in the landscape.

The Wortelpad (Wortel Trail) in the Stammenderbos forest is a picturesque hiking trail that winds through dense, often damp woodland. The trail likely owes its name to the numerous tree roots that creep across it, literally making hikers walk on a carpet of roots. The Stammenderbos itself is rich in deciduous trees, ferns, and moss, giving the trail a verdant, almost fairytale-like atmosphere. The natural obstacles, the winding route, and the filtered sunlight filtering through the canopy make the Wortelpad an intimate and adventurous place for hikers who appreciate peace and quiet and nature.

a beautiful place in a beautiful environment. Lovely to enjoy the terrace here for a while
