On Saturday 16th, Sunday 17th, Monday 18th, Saturday 23th, Sunday 24th, Saturday 30th April and Sunday 1 May, the Vlasmarktdreef will be closed and Parking 2 Bosmuseum and Parking 8 Achtdreven will not be accessible by car. It is recommended to use Parking 1 Hogebermweg or Parking 11 Houtveld. On those days there is a free shuttle bus every half hour from 9 am to 8 pm between Halle Station and Parking 2 Bosmuseum in the Hallerbos. In Halle there are also stops on Baseliekstraat (stop ‘Park’) and on Welkomstlaan (where there is a long parking strip). There is free bicycle rental at the Station in Halle, on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekends and public holidays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. During those three weekends and on Easter Monday between 9 am and 8 pm, people with a less mobile card can drive to Parking 8 Achtdreven. The forest now looks more beautiful every day, with more bluebells in bloom. It’s best to come during the week to enjoy the spring in the forest. Always stay on the official trails for hikers also when taking pictures. Never walk in the bridleway or stand next to the path. In this way you protect the forest, you do not damage plants, you do not compact the forest floor so that plants can germinate there and you do not disturb animals.
