Brakelbos

The Brakelbos reserve extends across varied terrain with an elevation of 118 meters, containing multiple walking paths through dense woodland sections.

Throughout centuries, the woodlands of Brakelbos served as a natural resource hub for neighboring communities, providing timber and sustenance to local inhabitants.

The forest functions as an educational center where Belgian schools conduct field studies about native flora, fauna, and environmental conservation methods.

Visitors can access Brakelbos through marked entrances near parking areas, with trails suited for different walking abilities and information boards along routes.

The reserve harbors specific combinations of plant species that grow exclusively in the particular soil conditions of the Flemish Ardennes region.
