Take a moment to lose yourself in the beautiful sunken paths of the Chartreuzenbos, wonderfully cool in the summer and safely sheltered from wind and rain in the winter. Children can romp around in the play forest, and there’s a small semicircular theater that makes for a great picnic spot. You’ll climb the slopes of the Chartreuzenberg until you reach a plateau at the top. Can you see the vines of the Chartreuzenberg winery? Winemaker Herman Van Goidsenhoven crafts the finest white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines from the grapes that grow here.
