You wouldn’t necessarily expect it at the intersection of the Brussels Ring Road and the A12, but the Bever Castle estate is a real gem. There, you can stroll through the forest that stretches along the Maalbeek between Strombeek-Bever and Wemmel. The springs, with their clear, calcium-rich water, keep the loamy soil damp. As a result, the area boasts an interesting variety of vegetation, including arum, marsh marigold, yellow iris, water plantain, hedgehog grass, and Solomon’s seal. It’s also a true paradise for wildlife. Villa Beverbos, the building by the small pond, serves as a municipal meeting place.
