The Steenbergse forests form a beautiful mixed hilly landscape of forests, meadows, fields, small landscape elements, source streams and seepage areas. The varied subsoil of the Steenbergse forests, with more than 26 different soil types, ensures that many different plant species find a home. What makes the Steenbergse forests so special are the numerous sources and seepage zones that bring up lime or iron from the soil, so that you can also find seepage species such as single berry, giant horsetail and marsh marigold. The many spring waters come together in the Karnemelkbeek and the Erwetegembeek. The small spring streams that carry the seepage and spring water to the larger streams are ideal habitats for all kinds of aquatic animals due to their superior water quality. Larvae of damselflies, stone flies and mayflies need very pure water and are therefore still en masse in the Steenberg forests. These larvae are the food of a special fish, the Bullhead, which lives in the larger streams.

Feelkes Hof - historic square farmhouse in the village center

Highlight • Historical Site

A beautiful piece of agricultural heritage in the heart of Sint-Goriks-Oudenhove!
As you walk into the village center, you cannot miss the Feelkes Hof. This imposing, whitewashed closed farm (square farm) was originally the outer court of a now-vanished castle. The oldest parts of the farmhouse date back to the 18th century.
From the street side, you can see the characteristic large entrance gate and the typical architecture of the Flemish Ardennes, with the church tower emerging beautifully behind it. The building and its immediate surroundings are protected as a village view due to their historical value.
