country weather
From Brasserie De Zoes you can walk into the Heldense Bossen in no time. Here you can fully enjoy the silence and the vast nature. Ideal for a day relaxing in nature. Here you walk through a succession of coniferous forest, small-scale arable land and tufts of heathland. Right through the woods are remnants of the old fortifications: a raised earthen wall that was planted with thorny shrubs to stop itinerant bands of robbers.

Monument
At the edge of the forest you pass the Monument Onderduikerskamp Bovensbos. The camp was betrayed in July 1943. Further on you will pass the Monument'Traces that remained\\\'. This commemorates the men from Helden who were deported to Germany for forced labor. A little further on you will pass the fifteenth-century Sint-Lambertus Church. In the center of Mariaplein is a monumental village pump from 1865. At Brasserie De Zoes you can enjoy something delicious and a specialty beer after walking.
