Belgium, Flemish Ardennes and Pajottenland
The Neigembos is a 72-hectare nature and forest area in Meerbeke (Ninove) that is protected in Europe as part of the Natura 2000 Habitats Directive area 'Forests of the Flemish Ardennes and other South Flemish forests'. It is, just like the Sonian Forest, a remnant of the old Coal Forest. The forest covers a height difference of 20 to 90m above sea level on the border between the Flemish Ardennes and the Pajottenland. Most of the Neigembos forest is a forest reserve.
