The Oranje Natuurpunt walk in Steentjesbos and Rotbos

The Steentjesbos is a forest in the north of the municipality of Kampenhout. Together with the Schiplakenbos, the Snijsselsbos and the Hellebos-Rotbos area, it forms a green corridor between the municipalities of Berg, Perk, Elewijt, Kampenhout and Hever (Schiplaken).

The core area of the Pebble Forest consists of a mixed deciduous forest with a characteristic spring flora such as forest anemone, valley herb, dark-spored forest violet, primrose and uniberry. The mix of deciduous and coniferous trees creates a varied fauna in the Pebble Forest. Perhaps you can see the beautiful golden rooster or nuthatch along the softwood groves. You can also observe great spotted woodpecker, middle spotted woodpecker, small spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker, black woodpecker, treecreeper, buzzard, mathead, sparrowhawk and hawk. Roe deer, rabbit, hare and common dwarf bat are regularly observed in the forest. Together with the Schiplakenbos, the Snijsselsbos and the Hellebos-Rotbos area, it forms a green corridor between the municipalities of Berg, Perk, Elewijt, Kampenhout and Hever. The area is part of De Groene Vallei, an oasis of peace between the cities of Leuven, Brussels and Mechelen. Source: Natuurpunt vzw
