    The former British Army base is a protected landscape due to its general importance, which stems from its aesthetic value.
    The former British base is a harmonious ensemble of extensive deciduous and coniferous forests, interspersed with open grasslands, heathland, marshes, and scrub.


    Historical value
    The proposed landscape includes several historically significant elements: the area surrounding Den Troon and the (demolished) Kalkhovenhof, several old road connections that were cut off by the Albert Canal from Goorhof, Meergoren, and Wolfste, and the route of the filled-in Kempen Canal between Herentals and Grobbendonk.
