Description
Between Bierbeek and Lubbeek is the Koebos, a beautiful old oak forest with lovely spring flora. Mineral-rich seepage zones in the valley provide remarkable plants. In addition, you can take lovely walks here in the impressive castle park. Since the Koebos acquired the status of a nature reserve, species diversity increased enormously. Meadows of meadowsweet, cuckoo flower and cuckoo flower appeared. In the spring, spearweed and wood anemone color the forest, followed later by salomon's seal, beetle orchid and broad-leaved wasp orchid. In addition to the Koebos, on this hike you will also become extensively acquainted with the much higher Gasthuisbos where the dead wood provides plenty of forest life, and you will walk between the two forests through a centuries-old hollow road.
NOTE: This is a walk on a virtual walking network. The nodes are not signposted on the site. The walk is signposted in 2 directions with red triangle.

Saturday, November 9, 2024 by S.D.Variety between forest, fields and paved roads. The Koebos was very swampy and wet. The crossing bridge over the small river was under water. So we had to find a detour. Red triangle markings are sometimes hidden behind the bushes. ! Start of walk, follow green rectangle first! Beautiful autumn colors. Quiet region.

Saturday, May 11, 2024 by Wilfried Van RompaeyBeautiful hike indeed! Maybe this is a silly question, but armed with the numbers of the hiking nodes we went looking for the posts with those numbers ... but nope: only the "old" signs with the red triangles were found! Is this generally the case in Flemish Brabant or only here in Pellenberg? Thanks for asking.

Friday, December 25, 2020 by Edwin MoonsThis is a nice walk partly in the woods, fields and small streets. However, the description is incorrect. The walk is 11 km and not 19.5 km. The walk is indicated by red triangles on hexagonal plate. I did not find the plates with linden forest walk anywhere.
