    Wonderful environment just outside the skirts of Brussels. Hiking routes free available in the internet. Nice points to refuel the inner person.

    An impressively large forest on the edge of Brussels. There are many different walks starting from many different locations. I have lived pretty much in the middle of it (Tervuren) for my entire...

    Beautiful forest just outside Brussels and accessible by bus, car, train. You can take direct bus 366 from Ixelles, there are other options too. There are numerous trails and a good idea is to download offline maps before you go because network is poor in the forest. The forest is so huge that you need many days and many trips to actually cover all the trails. There are clear signs of which path you can walk/bike/ride horse on. You can choose a few bus stops also I believe, depending on which trail to explore but beware that there are not many buses on Sunday.

    Amazing forest for bike ride and hiking. All trails are well marked. A word of advise: please plan your route in advance and set GPS route so that you don't have to engage you mind which way to go next.
