 Bentael: Hiking Trails and Map

The Bentael Nature Reserve Trail Map covers nearly all of the existing pine forest. Some highlights during your hike are St. John's Rock-Cut Hermitage and the river. At the Bentael entrance (Entrance A), visitors can obtain brochures and receive all the assistance they require. In addition, signs with information and directions are posted throughout the reserve. Bentael Reserve is also accessible through Entrance B, where visitors can follow the same trails.
