Because of its size and its location in the upper part of the city, the Bois de la Cambre is a bit like Brussels' Central Park. Minus the skyscrapers.
The Bois de la Cambre is a landscape park with a forest character. It is the natural extension of the Soignes forest and owes its name to the nearby Cambre Abbey. It is the largest - with a surface area of 123 hectares - but also the best known green space in Brussels. A bit like Central Park in New York, it is located at the top of the city. Easily accessible, it appears at the end of Avenue Louise, a prestigious commercial and architectural avenue. In summer and winter alike, the Bois de la Cambre attracts many walkers, joggers and other families who want to give their children some fresh air. In its centre, a small island hosts the famous Chalet Robinson. There, in a bucolic setting renovated in a contemporary way, one comes to sustenance of a current brasserie cooking or to take a coffee, a waffle or a hot chocolate. Further on, in the woods, there is Le Flore with an equally enchanting setting (splendid terrace, slow-food cuisine, local and organic products...). Both offer numerous signposted walks of varying lengths and difficulty. The Bois de la Cambre is without doubt one of the most beautiful urban green escapes that can be offered to its inhabitants and visitors. During the lockdown, the people of Brussels rediscovered what the park could offer them. For some, it was an even more important breathing space than usual, for others it was a place to protest against sanitary measures. Autumn and its colours is the best season for a walk.
