Icon description route Description

Depart at the Arboretum of the Heverlee Forest for a hike exclusively through forest. Ideal to really re-breathe. The Arboretum covers an area of about 9 ha and was created from 1930 - 1931. Walk among the many oaks, most of the species are from Europe and North America, but you will also find some from Asia and Japan. Stately avenues lead to the "Five Oaks," a crossroads where native oaks dominate. Stroll along the Prosperdreef, especially in autumn this avenue has a beautiful view, as the leaves of the American oak adorn themselves in bright red colors.

Saturday, April 23, 2022 by Yasmin VdCGreat hike! Can be crowded at times as it is popular hiking area for many. Forest drives give something stately which already suits some more than others. As usual took my faithful four-legged friends with me, they were also very happy. Good to do in any weather.

Wednesday, April 7, 2021 by L.D.For me too many straight forest lanes, not enough narrow forest paths, but especially a lot of noise from the E40. Especially in the beautiful Arboretum this bothered me.

Monday, November 2, 2020 by S.V.nice autumn hike, route deviates (thankfully) from the main avenues regularly, several cool picnic spots, but was a bit too crowded for me... is this due to weekend or corona ?
