Bentael Nature Reserve

We discovered Bentael Nature Reserve through this app and were happy we did. The area was beautiful. The trails were pretty well maintained, with log steps and rope banisters as needed through much of the tougher areas—though we did end up on some quite steep areas that were less assisted and required some scrambling. The trails were marked in several places, so fairly straightforward. That said, the signs would benefit from more info, like distance and ability levels more clearly indicated. Of note, the gates were locked when we arrived. We phoned the number at the entrance and a gentleman arrive within maybe 5 minutes to let us in. I’d advise good hiking shoes and dry weather, as it was slippery in many spots (small rocks, pine needles etc). A great afternoon hike!
