Nice for mountain bikers.

The Maasdalbeek originates in the Maasdalbos. Spring water also bubbles up here locally. This creates special plants, the most striking of which is the marsh marigold. There are also many shrubs here. The blackthorn butterfly is a butterfly that lives in blackthorn thickets or at the edge of forests. It likes warm sunny places. The female lays her eggs in the leaf axils of the blackthorn. The eggs are smaller than a pinhead and look like a squashed golf ball. Look for the eggs in winter or early spring, when the shrubs do not yet have leaves and flowers. Furthermore, small springwort, thick-grained moss, blue tuberous curtain mushroom, blue-spotted knight's mushroom and wild hyacinth grow here. The population of bats, including the pipistrelle bat and the water bat, is expanding. More and more deer are also being spotted. Numerous birds, such as the tawny owl, the sparrowhawk, the buzzard, the black woodpecker and the woodcock, also do well here. The pin-legged salamander can also be found here.

From mid-April to mid-May, bluebells bloom in large numbers in the Hallerbos. Follow the signed route

Little fun stop for MTB

The ‘Hallerbos’, also known as the blue forest, is one of the 3 extensive forest areas in the Brussels capital area. It is an ancient forest with a mix of young and older trees. The giant Sequoia trees are pretty impressive as well as the beautiful purple carpet of bluebells, which bloom around mid-April. Crossing the forests on a mix of gravel and singletrack dirt roads make up for a visit well worth it!

The Hallerbos (French: Bois de Hal) is a forest with an area of 552 ha southeast of Halle (511 ha on Hals territory). The forest is largely owned by the Flemish Region and a small part of the Walloon Region and private property. The Hallerbos forms a quiet recreational area, which is highly appreciated by the population of the surrounding highly urbanized zones. It is very accessible thanks to the many paths, and three walking routes have been mapped out for an introduction. The forest is part of the Flemish Ecological Network, has been a Flemish nature reserve since 2021 [1] and is European protected as Natura 2000 area 'Hallerbos and nearby forest complexes with source areas and heathland' (BE2400009) (together with other subareas such as the Mark valley, Zuun valley with domain of Gaasbeek, De Wolfsputten, Kesterbeek valley, Kesterheide, the forest reserve Terrijst, Lembeekbos, Zevenbrons, Gasthuisbos, Begijnenbos).

Good walk. Trail for all users
