エテルベークの天然記念物・トップ20

A change of scenery guaranteed...but also a sad observation...global warming is causing terrible damage to certain species of trees...visit this arboretum quickly before many trees die 😩😩😩

Nice location because you can imagine yourself in different parts of the world by the large number of exotic trees that were planted here sorted by their habitat. This allows you to walk from the West Coast of America to China through the different forests that were planted to imitate nature there as closely as possible.

Beautiful to walk in any weather. Many paths around here are also bike-free, which is still pleasant for the walker.

Enjoying the Sonian Forest is easy from the various access gates. These access gates are located on the edge of the forest, are easily accessible and are therefore the ideal starting point to explore the forest. There are eight access gates.

The Sonian Forest, also known as the Zoniënwoud, is a large forest area centrally located in Belgium, southeast of Brussels. It covers approximately 4,421 hectares and is best known for its old beech trees, some of which are over 200 years old. The forest has a rich history dating back to the Iron Age and has had various functions over the centuries, such as providing firewood and timber for the construction of houses and ships, and as a backdrop for hunting scenes. The current forest landscape with deciduous trees has its origins in the Austrian period (1714-1795).

Always beautiful, spacious and varied forest

Nice walk on and around the art mountain.

The Sonian Forest is an exceptional, vulnerable and ancient forest that is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The forest extends across the three Belgian regions and is one of the best-known and most visited green spaces in the region.
