Hiking in the “Flemish Nature Reserve Mechelse Heide,” the majority goes through the Mechels Bos on well-passable forest paths, initially 1.3 km over a paved cycling/walking path. Entirely car-free, except when crossing the N763, watch out for vehicles. It is not a flat hike, but certainly not a heavy one; a bit of fitness suffices.

Rest bench(es): among others at 3.2/5.1/7.1 and 7.6 km.

Sights: German WW1 bunker
