The 6 Most Amazing Peaks around Haacht

Nice ridge with beautiful views of the surroundings.

The Balenberg in Baal is much more than just a hill. This is the home base of the Sven Nys Cycling Center, where sports, nature and experience come together. With its modest height, the Balenberg is an ideal place for those who want to test their legs on a short climb, but also for families who like to walk or cycle in a green environment. At the top of the hill you can enjoy a beautiful view over the Hageland, and in the museum you can discover the impressive story of cyclo-cross legend Sven Nys. The surrounding routes take you over gravel paths, sunken roads and quiet country roads — perfect for both the sporty cyclist and the recreational walker. A stop at the Balenberg is a must during your trip in the heart of Flemish Brabant!

At a height of 51.6 metres, you can enjoy a 15 ha nature park. Rare fauna and flora provide a relaxing experience. The nature park is accessible all year round. It is car and bicycle free. Parking is possible at the edge of the domain.

Beerzelberg is remarkable in many ways. The alternation of open spaces with closed forests creates an interesting and attractive ecological and recreational structure. Beerzelberg owes its fame partly to the fact that the current maximum hill height is 51.6 meters above sea level. This makes the area officially the highest point in the province of Antwerp.

The Eikelberg (in the southwest of the municipality of Aarschot) is an approximately 48 meter high hill belonging to the Diest Formation, located between the village center of Gelrode to the south and the fossil meander of Vorsdonk - Turfputten (also protected) to the north. Via the Liedeberg, east of the Eikelberg, this hill connects to the protected landscape 's Hertogenheide in Aarschot, approximately 800 meters from the Eikelberg. This iron sandstone hill forms the southern border of the Demer Valley, which forms the transition between the Zuiderkempen in the north and the Hageland in the south.

With a height of 82 meters, the Zwaneberg is slightly higher than the Dominicanenberg at the Gasthuisberg complex, which measures 75 meters. The views from both sides of the highway/ring are beautiful (and of course more beautiful in sunny weather), but here you see just a little more of Bertem, Everberg and the surrounding area. And of course you also see Leuven and the wooded landscapes south of it.

The Beerzelberg is a witness hill in the Putse sub-municipality of Beerzel and the highest natural point of the province of Antwerp. The height of the Beerzelberg is 51.60 meters.[1] In the Tertiary period, the hill was deposited in the Diestian Sea. The sand contained a lot of glauconite, and as the sea level dropped, this glauconite oxidized and formed iron sandstone. In the area, the ordinary sand washed away, leaving the ironstone as a mound. In the 18th and 19th century, the Beerzelberg was wooded with an open space at the top where 27 lanes led. The forest was cleared at the beginning of the 20th century and the area became overgrown with heather, although old coppice stoves, mainly made of oak, remain. The area subsequently served as a military training area and as a venue for cyclo and motocross competitions before becoming a nature reserve. Source: Wikipedia
