Begijnenbos

The Begijnenbos is a forest area in the Belgian municipality of Beersel. The forest covers 28 hectares and consists mainly of beech forest. It is located on the steep southern slope between the village centers of Huizingen and Dworp, both municipalities of Beersel.
The OCMW (Public Center for Social Welfare) of the City of Brussels is the owner of the forest managed by the Agency for Nature and Forests. The forest is European protected as part of the Natura 2000 habitat directive area 'Hallerbos and nearby forest complexes with source areas and heathland'.

The Begijnenbos is a charming, densely wooded area where quiet paths wind their way through deciduous trees and meandering streams. This green gem, located near the famous Beersel Castle, offers walkers a peaceful escape with lush nature and the sound of birdsong in the background.
