The Bois de la Cambre (French: Ter Kamerenbos) is a forest and park in the Belgian capital of Brussels. It covers approximately 122 hectares and forms a natural extension of the Sonian Forest, which extends deep into the city in the southeast of Brussels. The park is accessible from the center of Brussels via Avenue Louise and is part of the southern extension of Brussels. The Bois de la Cambre consists of two large, somewhat oval sections. The northern section is the most wooded and features several 19th-century buildings. The southern section has a central 6-hectare artificial pond with a wooded island.

I was pleasantly surprised here: a former road through the forest is now a paradise for cyclists and pedestrians. I can't imagine cars there.👍🙏😜🚴
