A beautiful forest massif on the outskirts of the magnificent city of Leuven. Its paths are very popular with athletes, especially for gravel riding. This area also hosted the 2023 European Gravel Championships (with victories for Lorena Wiebes and local rider Jasper Stuyven) and the 2024 Gravel World Championships (with victories for Marianne Vos and Mathieu van der Poel).

Gravel was replaced by concrete, only the connection with the Bertems plateau is still a short stretch of well-rounded gravel

A simple gravel road (single track) between fields. It's a narrow path, so be careful when crossing cyclists and hikers.

In the Koeheide in Bertem, at the northern intersection of the Grote Reedelle and the Kleine Reedelle, part of the sunken road of the Kleine Reedelle has completely collapsed and is not even accessible on foot, April 2025. You can of course take an alternative route and go around.
