This area has seen its share of wars. It could hardly be otherwise, for a forest that dates back to the 13th century. The War of the Spanish Succession still rears its head here and there. Here you will find remains of the Line that served in 1701.

One of the paths in the bid is therefore called "Liniedreef". This runs along the canal "De Linie".

Fort Sint-Jan in Stropersbos

Highlight • Historical Site

The Stropersbos is spread over the municipalities of Stekene and Sint-Gillis-Waas and is one of the largest forest complexes in East Flanders. You can explore the forest with three walking routes: the green walking loop, the red walking loop and the Laarzenpad (natuurenbos.be/sites/default/files/stropersbos_kaart_0.pdf).

Heather Stropersbos

Highlight • Natural

In the 19th century, coniferous forests were planted on a large scale in the Stropersbos. That wood was needed to firmly support the tunnels of the coal mines. But in terms of natural value it did not amount to much. That is why the coniferous forest was thinned and cut down over the years. Young heathland appeared again, with bushes and shrubs. Highly appreciated by field crickets and woodlarks. Grazers ensure that the young heath does not reforest.

Stropersbos

Highlight • Forest

The Stropersbos is a natural gem not to be missed with its stately avenues, valuable alder forests, open spaces with heath and its large grazers! Together with the adjacent green areas, the Stropersbos forms one of the largest forest and nature complexes in East Flanders. Numerous walking and cycling opportunities introduce visitors to the Stropersbos. You can also stroll through part of the nature reserve where Konik horses graze. Children are spoiled in the play area.
