Description

The Vressels Bos is a hidden gem in Brabant. A stone's throw from the beautiful Dommeldal you will discover a very special nature reserve here.

Wet heather
If you now walk through the Vressels Bos, it is hard to imagine that there were hardly any trees here in the last century. The area then mainly consisted of sand drifts and heaths. The 250-hectare forest was planted on a shifting sand ridge in the last century. You mainly walk between fragrant Scots pines. There are also some wet heaths in the forest.

Old ven
In the middle of the forest you walk past the Hazenputten. This old pond is a wonderful spot for a picnic. You may spot one of the many birds that nest in the forest, such as a yellowhammer, goshawk or black woodpecker. With this route you also discover Vressel, an authentic herdgang, where you walk through an old small-scale landscape of meadows, fields, trees, hedges and shrubs. It is located near the Dommel and you also cross this river with this route.
