The Bois de Lauzelle in all its variety and charm

A circular route that is as pleasant as it is varied in the superb Bois de Lauzelle, right next to the university town of Louvain-la-Neuve. An absolute must for nature lovers. The ‘wetland’ section along the Blanc-Ry is particularly charming thanks to the very successful landscaping.
