Stretch of road that coasts the airport, quite a sight! A useful way to avoid any traffic to get directly to the F7 Brussels-Leuven

Springs Park

Highlight • Forest

The park owes its name to the many springs that feed its pond. Former domain of the Solvay family, the park was landscaped in the English style at the beginning of the 20th century and endowed with a small castle, out of sight in the abundant green flora of the site, which will serve as a residence for the family. Solvay. On the death of Louis Solvay, the park was partly taken over by the Blaton family with the intention of developing a real estate project there, a project that would never see the light of day. The commune of Woluwe-Saint-Lambert acquired the other part and transformed it into a public park.

A true ecological node with reed bed, pond, stream, humid forest and dry forest, the entire park has been classified as a nature reserve since 1994.

A former railway line linking Brussels to Tervueren in the past, the route has since been converted into a promenade of some 10 kilometers for pedestrians and cyclists, but not only! This corridor also plays an important role in terms of biodiversity, notably facilitating the migration of many animal species. A pleasant way to get around the capital under the trees, along parks and ponds and away from car traffic.

Keep your eyes open as you pass by: an old station platform and rails, forming a modern sculpture, recall the origin of this walk!

Red Cloister Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

In its heyday from the 15th to the 18th centuries, the Red Monastery you are looking at was a significant community of Augustinian monks on the edge of the Sonian Forest. The place probably owes its name to the color of the mortar with which the cloister was covered.
Today the monastery is an art center, some rooms can still be visited, as well as the garden with five large ponds. Two are used for fish farming, in the other three Mother Nature is allowed to switch and rule without human intervention.

Tervurensteenweg Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

Lovely setting, but this part of the trail suffers from age and poor maintenance; it needs significant repair or replacement. The next section on the way to the Africa Museum is new and pristine but lacks the pleasant shade of this section.
