Nature and relaxation

Despite its proximity to Leuven, the community is very green. More than 40% of the municipal area consists of forest, which is distributed over the Meerdaalbos , the Egenhovenbos and the Heverleebos . These forests are considered to be the remains of the coal forest . The "Doode Beemde" nature reserve is also on the territory of the municipality.
