    Hiking

    The arboretum in Heverlee is the starting point of the so-called path of Ad, which is no less than 26.2 km long, where you will discover forest figures by tree artist Ad Wouters in various places.

    Officially it is called: "Soft bears, mischievous gnomes, modern Neanderthals, metre-high mushrooms and other playful figures turn the Meerdaalwoud and the Heverleebos into real fairytale forests. The wooden sculptures are the work of local tree artist Ad Wouters and turn your walk into a fun quest full of wonder. Ad cuts the forest figures from the trunks of dead oaks."
