The wet valley of the Vuylbeek reserve runs parallel to the Drowned Children Valley and is an integral part of the Sonian Forest. The atmosphere of these two valleys is completely different, but that is what makes them so interesting. With rare habitats and a rich diversity of plants and animals, this small valley is truly a beautiful gem.

The reserve has an area of 7 hectares and is owned by the Brussels Capital Region. The management is in the hands of Brussels Environment. The Vuylbeek valley has been given the status of a nature reserve by the decision of the Brussels Capital Executive of April 27, 1992.
