Natural Garden - Butterfly Garden

Highlight • Natural

A butterfly garden has been created near the Krankhoeve in collaboration with Natuurpunt, the local beekeepers' union, the province and the Rivierenland Regional Landscape.
The nature-friendly garden serves as an example for mainly the inhabitants of Bonheiden and is permanently accessible. Various information boards explain the added value of a nature-friendly garden for both nature and the garden owner. By placing two insect hotels, nature is not only given a helping hand, but the experience value for visitors is also increased. After all, there is a lot of activity around an insect hotel on warm sunny days. In addition, various ecological elements (ribbed branches, dry stone wall, etc.) inspire visitors to demarcate or design their garden in a different way. The opening of the garden also contributes to a bit of recreation at the neighborhood level.

The Krankhoevebos

Highlight • Forest

The Krankhoevebos is a nature reserve located in the municipality of Bonheiden, in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. The forest is one of the larger green areas in the region and is a popular place for hikers and nature lovers. The forest is part of a wider network of nature reserves in the region and offers a peaceful and natural environment.

The Krankhoevebos is originally a mixed deciduous forest, which means that you can find different types of trees there, such as oaks, beeches, and hazelnuts. It is a versatile area, with both open spaces and densely vegetated areas, which ensures a rich biodiversity. This also makes the forest attractive to birdwatchers, as there are different bird species in the area.

There are several walking routes through the forest, allowing visitors to explore nature at their own pace. The area is also accessible to cyclists, depending on the route.

In addition to its natural value, the Krankhoevebos also has historical significance. It is located in the region that used to be part of the more agricultural landscapes near Bonheiden. Today the forest is an oasis of tranquility and a beautiful place to escape from busy city life.

The Statue of Our Lady of Peace in Bonheiden is a sacred statue of the Virgin Mary, which occupies an important place in the local religious and cultural history of the municipality. The statue was erected in 1947 to commemorate the reconciliation and peace after the Second World War, in a period in which many countries and communities were recovering from the devastation of the war. The statue symbolizes the hope for peace and is an expression of the desire for inner peace and harmony.
