Between Bierbeek and Lubbeek is the Koebos, a beautiful old oak forest with lovely spring flora. Mineral-rich seepage zones in the valley provide remarkable plants. In addition, you can take lovely walks here in the impressive castle park. Since the Koebos acquired the status of a nature reserve, species diversity increased enormously. Meadows of meadowsweet, cuckoo flower and cuckoo flower appeared. In the spring, spearweed and wood anemone color the forest, followed later by salomon's seal, beetle orchid and broad-leaved wasp orchid. In addition to the Koebos, on this hike you will also become extensively acquainted with the much higher Gasthuisbos where the dead wood provides plenty of forest life, and you will walk between the two forests through a centuries-old hollow road.
