Through the forests of Kortenberg
If you follow the stately Prinsendreef through the Warandebos, you will automatically come to the castle de Merode. And on the other side of the forest lies the handsome Kortenberg Abbey, today a reflection center. The forest itself is 70 acres, with slopes and an 1850s icehouse. For even more natural beauty, head to the Silsombos a hiking paradise with seven orchid species and the chance to see a kingfisher skimming. In the forest, the Black Madam symbolically watches over hikers.
"The Black Madam watches over hikers on the banks of Mill Creek, deep in the Silsom forest."
