Exploring the peaceful area of Watermael-Boitsfort is probably the closest you’ll get to feeling at one with nature in Brussels. Located on the southern edge of the country’s densely populated capital, green Boitsfort breathes a rare tranquility, considering its big city surroundings.

Explore the Sonian Forest

The Sonian Forest is a woodland that covers more than half of Boitsfort and forms a natural oasis only ten kilometers away from Brussels’ buzzing Grand Place. The woods have attracted millions of nature lovers from all around the world with its rich folklore and diverse fauna and flora. Venture out into this enchanting cathedral of 200-year-old beech trees by yourself or take part in one of the plentiful themed walks.
