Kesseven - Gewestbos Ravels

Highlight • Lake

In the Regional Forest in Ravels - one of the largest with 850 hectares
forest areas of the province of Antwerp - 100% offroad awaits you
walking pleasure. Streams, canals and ditches cross the domain. Orphan
Rest assured: twenty wooden bridges will keep your feet dry! Through narrow,
winding sandy paths you explore a varied landscape with forests,
grasslands, historic fens and heathland. The ferry across the canal
forms a wonderful intermezzo on your walk.

Long straight stretch through the woods

Highlight • Trail

Central avenue of 7 km long connects the Gewestbos Ravels from North to South. The avenue is named after the founder Marneffe of this pilot project.
Today many use the Marneffdreef to quickly go straight from north to south.

History: The wastelands were bought by the Belgian state at the beginning of the 20th century (1903 - 1904). These grounds mainly consisted of heath. From 1906 the grounds were planted with Scots pines. The forest was a kind of experimental forest in which it was examined how one could convert heathland into coniferous forests.
This pilot project to understand the quality of trees was important for the mining industry.
