Sonian Forest (Forêt de Soignes)

Located along Avenue Duboislaan in Watermael-Boitsfort, the Sonian Forest, or Forêt de Soignes, stretches over 5,000 hectares, providing ample walking and cycling opportunities. This expansive woodland features magnificent ancient beech and oak trees and is home to various wildlife, including red deer and woodpeckers.

This natural reserve is not just a retreat for local flora and fauna, but also an important area for conservation efforts.
