The former hunting lodge is located near Nieuwstraat in Bertem. Nieuwstraat itself is a historic cobblestone road that connects Bertem with the Augustijnerhoeve farm, situated higher up.

The sunken road itself is used by the more adventurous and probably younger cycling adventurer, judging by the small sand-jumping hills constructed in it.

Two large thick pieces of tree trunk with seats made in them. And in front of it a kind of mini-theater-shaped stone area where clearly also eating is done.

Nearby there is also a picnic bench on the playground for those who don't need a roof. You can also picnic on the forest play path (on the other side of the lawn) with the trees as a roof. And then there is the open seat when you walk to the radars. In short: plenty of choice.
