- Between the vast Meerdaal forest and Heverlee forest lies a special gateway to nature: Reception Gate The Kestrel.
- Here, an impressive, giant wooden kestrel by artist Ad Wouters welcomes you into the forest. This unique mascot immediately sets the tone for a visit full of discovery and adventure.
- Climb the wooden lookout and reception tower and enjoy a magnificent view of the green surroundings.
- For young explorers, there is the adventure play forest where climbing, clambering and playing are central.
- On the multi-move path, children and adults alike can test their movement skills in a playful way. In addition, a new walking trail for wheelchair users also makes the forest more accessible for everyone.
- Reception gate De Torenvalk is so much more than a starting point for a walk: it is a place where nature, adventure and experience come together. The ideal starting point to discover the beautiful forests of Flemish Brabant.
