Sint-Genesius-Rode

Sint-Genesius-Rode flatters itself against the Forêt de Soignes, a quiet residential commune with beautiful farmsteads a stone's throw from Brussels.

Between Sonian Forest and Hal forest

Gateway Middenhut leads you straight into the Sonian Forest and is the perfect starting point for hiking and biking tours along avenues and valleys. Your four-legged friend can let off steam in the spacious dog area.

The Molenbeekpad follows for 16 kilometers the Molenbeek from the Sonian Forest to the Zenne, a valley that was once the center of Belgium's paper industry. Along the way, a stop at Hof ten Hout and Hof Sint-Gertrudis, two of the most beautiful farms between Zenne and Zoniënwoud, is worthwhile. Prefer culture? In the Boesdaalhoeve beats the cultural heart of the municipality.

"Middenhut is your gateway to the Sonian Forest."
