Very nice walk between beautiful fields and stately old rows of trees ... reason for choosing the cover photo is that just after the start of the walk I met a little girl who had just picked these buttercups and offered them to me. So sweet and I accepted them and walked with them for a while and then took …

A magnificent ride, entirely through the woods, with only a few cyclists to break the forest's silence. A succession of pretty paths and trails winds through scenery ablaze with autumnal colors. Those wishing to rest or enjoy their sandwiches will find picnic tables at kilometers 0.96, 3.12, 3.72, and at the finish. A very beautiful route, especially in sunny weather, …

A lovely walk around Bierbeek. Almost the entire route is through the woods, and it's only a few hundred meters from the start to be back in nature. A very pleasant, all-weather walk along well-maintained forest paths, dotted with picnic tables at kms 2.8, 5.0, 5.2, and 8.1. An easy route suitable for everyone; it starts at the car park …

Family walk, out with husband, daughter, niece and our mother. Inspired by an article in Libelle, we chose this walk. Very nice walk with some sneaky calf biters every now and then. Recommended!
Thank you Libelle 🙏

June 25, 2023,Mollendaalboswandeling

If you want to go for a walk in these warm, what should I say, hot temperatures, you can't do better than in the woods and the Mollendaalbos is the perfect location. It can easily be 4 to 5 degrees cooler under the foliage of the trees. And apparently we were not alone with that thought, because quite a few …
