Sonian Forest – Speelbos Jezus Eik

Looking for an outdoor escape just a short drive from Brussels? The Sonian Forest has got you covered! 🌳

Highlights:

1. Interactive Trail: The forest boasts a trail filled with play structures. Here, kids can take on exciting assignments and compare their results with forest animals. It’s tailor-made for younger explorers!
2. Additional Play: Apart from the trail, Woudpoort’s backyard offers some bonus play structures.
3. Language No Barrier: Though trail signs are in NL, the fun remains universal.
4. Stroller Friendly: Many paths starting from Woudpoort are perfect for strollers.
5. Refreshments: De Bosuil café is nearby. It seemed to offer takeaway but was closed during our visit. But no worries, the area has plenty of other options.
6. Stroller Vs. Carrier: The first play area near Bosuil is somewhat stroller friendly. But, with undefined paths and a few stairs near Woudpoort, a carrier might be more convenient.
7. Pet Policy: Please note, dogs aren’t allowed.

Here is the start of the trail: Kapucijnendreef 12-22

Facilities & Activities:

• There’s a toilet facility at Woudpoort.
• Combine your forest visit with pony riding at Woudpoort. Available on Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday afternoons. Tip: It gets busy, so try to get there early!
