The Hallerbos, a 552 hectare forest southeast of Halle, is mainly owned by the Flemish Region, with a small part belonging to the Walloon Region and private properties. In spring, the Hallerbos is a great place for a bike ride. The spring blossoms bring the forest to life with different colors. The flowering of the hyacinths varies each year depending on the early spring weather. The best time to visit the forest is 7 to 10 days after the beech leaves have emerged. At that moment, the purple-blue hyacinths together with the fresh green beech leaves are an enchanting sight.

The loop around Lac de Genval is ideal for a workout, a warm-up, or simply a stroll in the cool. Road shared with cars and pedestrians, but little used.

Lake Genval

Highlight • Lake

Lake Genval (in Dutch: Meer van Genval) extends along the edge of the Soignes forest, southeast of Brussels, on the borders of the areas of the municipalities of Rixensart on which Genval depends, in the province of Walloon Brabant and Overijse in the province of Flemish Brabant.
The small river Argentina, which fed a modest pond in the 19th century, today defines the language barrier. Since its inception, Lake Genval has been a popular tourist spot for locals in Brussels and wealthy foreigners who live in the region. Experience the numerous and opulent villas that were built from the Belle Epoque to the present day. One of these highlights is without a doubt the Château du Lac, a prestigious five-star hotel where the French football team stayed in Belgium during the Euro 2000.
