Picnic Area Borsebeek Valley

Highlight • Rest Area

A wonderful picnic area on the banks of the Borsebeek invariably invites every passer-by to press the pause button.
Enjoy idyllic and rural character so close to the big city.

Set up information boards provide very interesting information about the landscape, the Koude, Borse and Fortloopbeek.

Hof Zevenbergen Castle and Grotto

Highlight • Castle

Hof Zevenbergen is a reflection and meeting center. On the domain is a recently built castle, surrounded by a moat and an extensive woodland garden. It is a place of peace and quiet in a green oasis, near the center of Ranst and adjacent to the Zevenbergenbos nature reserve. An ideal place to retreat for a while and then re-enter the world with renewed energy and insights. All areas are accessible for wheelchair users. There are also adapted sanitary facilities.

Gravel Path Along the Antitankgracht

Highlight • Trail

This passage under the E34 has recently been largely redeveloped. Nowadays it is no longer a narrow alley in the forest, but it is more comparable to the rest of the path along the Antitankgracht: a pleasant gravel path that is wide enough to pass each other. Only the connection with the Albert Canal and the part under the bridge still looks a bit run-down.

Fort Oelegem

Highlight • Historical Site

The fort was built between 1909 and 1914 to prevent an invasion. After 1918, the fort was rebuilt, its weapons replaced, and its ventilation and emergency exits were adapted.

During World War II, the German Wehrmacht used the fort as a storage facility. After the liberation, it served the US Army as an anti-aircraft defense center against V1 rockets.

In 1947, the fort's military use finally ended, and it became private property.

Today, it is home to approximately 1,300 bats. On certain days and by appointment, you can visit it as part of a guided tour.

Gravel Path in Rivierenhof

Highlight • Trail

Nice gravel road in the Rivierenhof. It is an alternative to the many paved paths on the domain. Perfect for any type of bicycle, except for a racing bike perhaps.
