Description
Park near parking South on Molenstraat. Or better yet: spend the night on the domain (info www.dehogerielen.be).
Leave in the dark, before all human visitors are awake: the Hoge Rielen is a meeting place for humans and nature, where several large groups can be present at the same time.
Historically, this was a higher-lying heathland with wet areas (= rielen). Especially now, this creates unique fauna and flora because a combination of wet and dry areas, coniferous and deciduous forest, open areas, sections open to humans/recreation, and sections closed for nature restoration was chosen.
On a clear, crisp autumn morning, you can expect rabbits, deer, sheep, waterfowl, etc., and a beautiful play of light between the trees. There are several buildings/campsites on the domain that are also connected by concrete paths that are mostly avoided.
Dogs/pets not allowed. High hiking shoes recommended.
