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.

Very quiet and beautiful for driving and walking.

It is one of the largest parks in the capital with its nearly 69 hectares, its history is intimately linked to that of the creation of the avenue de Tervueren within the framework of the Universal Exhibition of 1897. The distribution of the exhibition on two sites (the Parc du Cinquantenaire and the royal estate of Tervueren) requiring a connecting axis, a landscaped park is envisaged along the avenue to embellish it and attract the bourgeois of the capital. Landscape architect Emile Lainé will be entrusted with the development project. Earthworks will be undertaken, using in particular the earth removed during the construction of the four ponds to give the park its rugged relief of English inspiration. The park is also distinguished by the variety of its trees with some 180 different species.

If you are in the area be sure to visit. The view is really not to be sneezed at, so beautiful.
