Surprising Vilvoorde? Surprisingly green, that’s for sure! Right next to the busy Brussels Ring Road and on the border with Grimbergen, you’ll find the Tangebeekbos. It’s an old park forest, and you can tell by the somewhat bizarre exotic trees mixed in among the native deciduous trees. Such as the giant silver fir, the California cypress, and the sky tree. You’ll also pass under the Ring Road into the Koningslo neighborhood, where the Romeinsesteenweg—a beautiful sunken road—takes you past Living Tomorrow, or the House of the Future.
Before you set out: This is a walk on a virtual walking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground.
