Scheutbos and Thaborgberbos from Anderlecht

A lovely walk from the city to the countryside. An easy walk, mainly on roads but also along beautiful paths and lanes lined with magnificent houses. On the way back, you pass a very attractive shopping and leisure centre.

Hike in the western outskirts of the municipality of Anderlecht (near Brussels). The route allows you to discover little-known aspects of this municipality in the vicinity of the hamlet of Neerpede, along the Neerpedebeek stream.

A walk between the town and green spaces in the upper part of the municipality of Forest. The route passes through Duden Park, the Messidor garden city, Carré Tillens, the Altitude 100 church and Forest Park, among other places.

Go for a jog or a leisurely stroll to explore Forest Park and Duden Park, which feature some lovely gentle slopes. This is an urban route but takes place entirely within natural surroundings, with one crossing of a roundabout with traffic between Forest Park and Duden Park, both on the way there and back. Both parks are situated predominantly within the municipality of Forest. Forest Park has a more urban feel, whilst Duden Park has a more wooded character.

A lovely circular walk in the lower part of the municipality of Forest. First, the walk takes you along Rue Kersbeek with its beautiful houses. Next, Brel Park with its remarkable trees and monuments. Then, the Forest Miniature Railway, a miniature railway network located in Bempt Park, in Forest, in the Brussels-Capital Region. Finally, the Forest-Vert garden city is a mixed-use social housing estate in the lower part of Forest, in Brussels. Take a stroll through Bempt Park, near the ponds, and you’ll see ducks swimming in groups. It’ll be a moment of tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of the city. To round off the walk, treat yourself to a delicious artisan ice cream at Tutta Panna – the perfect way to end the walk! As you head towards the station, you can’t miss a lovely, colourful mosaic under the Forest-Est bridge.

This walk is not difficult and mostly follows the course of the Molenbeek, allowing you to discover King Baudouin Park, the Ganshoren marsh, Laerbeek Wood, the Jette marsh and Dieleghem Wood.

The route passes Château Bonaventure, then follows the valleys of the Molenbeek and Zijpbeek, once vital to the local mills. The walk crosses King Baudouin Park, the Ganshoren marsh and the Laerbeek and Poelbos woods, rich in wildlife and typical of Brabant landscapes. The unassuming Poelbosbeek further contributes to this natural ecosystem. The Heymbos and Dielegem woods are a reminder of the former presence of the medieval abbey. Further on, the Atomium comes into view, the iconic symbol of Expo ’58, before the route passes through the Royal Domain of Laeken. This is a walk combining nature, history and Brussels’ heritage.

A route that starts at the Abbaye de la Cambre and ends at the Hôtel Hannon, passing by the Ixelles Ponds, the Sterner Workshop, the Hôtel Max Hallet, the Hôtel Solvay, the Hôtel Tassel, the Hôtel Otlet, Rue de Livourne and back, the Trinity Church, the Horta Museum, Rue Américaine and the Hannon Hotel to Avenue Brugmann.
