Explore a beautiful stretch of the Sonian Forest between Jezus-Eik and Tervuren, through small valleys with “flossen”—pools—and plateaus dotted with tall-trunked trees. Near Flossenweg, one of these pools is partially overgrown with yellow irises. Take a moment to visit Jezus-Eik; the village owes its origins to a small statue of Our Lady placed on an old oak tree. According to legend, several miracles took place there, so the Abbey of Park van Heverlee built a chapel on the site. In 1650, the small chapel made way for the elegant Baroque church.
