The Koebos is a beautiful old oak forest with lovely spring flora, featuring hay meadows in the valley with meadowsweet, cuckoo flower, ragged robin, and the rare meadow damselfly. The forest adjoins the castle park of UZ Pellenberg, laid out in the second half of the 19th century as an English-style park with rolling hills, thick chestnut groves, and monumental weeping beeches. This walk also takes you past the impressive Herendaalhoeve. It was founded in the 13th century and is one of the oldest and largest farms in the Hageland region.
