The Sonian Forest covers more than 5,000 hectares making it the main oxygen tank of Brussels. The cathedral of often two-hundred-year-old beech trees, oak tree groves and other examples of our native species offers limitless opportunities for outdoor activities and the forest hosts as well a couple of historical & cultural sites such as the former hippodrome of Bois-Fort, the Royal Loge, the Chateau de La Hulpe, the Fondation Folon, etc.

At the South end of the forest, you will reach Waterloo.
