This walk introduces you to the Koebos and Gasthuisbos areas. The Koebos is a beautiful old oak forest with lovely spring flora, and in the valley, hay meadows featuring meadowsweet, cuckoo flower, ragged robin, and the rare meadow damselfly. The forest connects to 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 trees, and monumental weeping beeches. In the Gasthuisbos, dead wood gives rise to new life. Between the Koebos and the Gasthuisbos, you’ll walk along a centuries-old sunken path.
