Averbode Bos & Heide is actually a whole with surrounding nature reserves and includes various municipalities. At the heritage level, for example, there is "Abbey and forest of Averbode and Gerhagen", which is much more logical since both are only "separated" by one road. Within that area there are also smaller nature reserves and there are also some areas around it, which are often referred to as one whole area. Everything else is actually marketing, just like the Merode landscape park to which Averbode Bos & Heide and Gerhagen belong. More about "Abbey and forest of Averbode and Gerhagen" as a landscape entity recognized by Flanders and how it came about at inventaris.onroerenderfgoed.be/erfgoedobjecten/135068

About Inland Dunes

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

These sand dunes are the remnants of the sandbanks of the Diestian Sea, which some 7 million years ago, when the Diestian Sea flooded the northern part of present-day Belgium. Parallel to this coastline, which was oriented northeast-southwest, were a large number of sandbanks consisting of moderately coarse sands. When the Diestiaanzee withdrew, the sandbanks came to lie above water and these dunes were created.
You can call these sand dunes the Sahara of Averbode and are very beautiful to walk through!

View of Testelt and the Demer Valley from the Voortberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Voortberg is a Hageland witness hill about 50 meters high on the banks of the Demer. On old maps, the hill is almost always referred to as "Wijngaardberg". An apt name when you consider that the southern flank was covered with vines.
Today, the Voortberg is marked in the landscape by a high transmission tower for TV distribution.
†
It is worth making the short climb up to the radio mast on the top of the Voortberg and stopping there for a while. In good weather you have a beautiful view.
