W17kmFaluintjesKravaalbos

From Hof den Tuitelaar in Meldert, we set off for a beautiful nature walk through two gems of the Faluintjes region: the open Faluintjes and the mysterious Kravaalbos. We soon leave the village behind and walk through wet grasslands, meadows and quiet marshes where water and nature shape the landscape. The Faluintjes are known for their great biodiversity and are an important habitat for meadow birds and typical plants of wet soils.

Along the way, we pass the impressive Water Castle of Moorsel, a medieval water fortress that has been mentioned as early as the 12th century and was the center of power in the region for centuries. The castle, completely surrounded by water, is today one of the best-preserved water castles in Flanders and provides a special photo opportunity along the route.

Further, we enter the Kravaalbos, an ancient forest with majestic beeches, oaks, and winding forest paths. This forest was once known for its sand and clay extraction and today breathes mainly peace and history. Expect a beautiful mix of shady forest paths and open spaces.

Since the paths in these water-rich areas can sometimes be muddy, waterproof walking shoes are definitely recommended. A varied and engaging walk where nature, heritage, and silence go hand in hand. 🌿🥾
