With a name like this, you’re bound to pass by some gigantic sequoias—also known as giant redwoods. These conifers are undoubtedly the largest trees in the Hallerbos. But they’re also a rarity here, since this largest forest area between the Zenne and Zoniën is primarily home to oaks and beeches. The Hallerbos is best known for its stunning blue carpet of flowers in the spring when the bluebells are in bloom.
