Surroundings

Schoonenberg is surrounded by an oak forest but there is a great variety of trees and plants on the property, including several large beech, yew, wild jasmine etc.

The animals are well-represented . So there a lot of different birds flying  around, as brutal great tits and robins , jays , magpies , woodpeckers and in the Park also flies a flock of buzzards around . The buzzards do not show themselves so much when a little busier , but in the low season they make frantically hunting the pigeons.

Velserbeek park is about 10 minutes walk from the campsite. For the kids , this is the best property in the vicinity of our campsite.  There are several playgrounds, a deer park and a petting zoo. In the summer, children can cool off on hot days in the paddling .

Schoonenberg park adjacent to our campsite . Just cross the street and walk into the park. In the park there are several bunkers from WWII , as well as a visvijvertje (remember your license) and some nice fields that are perfect for ball games or a picnicÂ
