Group Walk: Hallerbos

Practicalities

This is a very special group walk! If you haven't visited the forest outside of the town Halle in the spring, then we highly recommend joining or going on your own time. During the spring, the Hallerbos is blooming with beautiful hyacinths covering the forest floor. You can get a sneak peak here.

Over the years this has turned into quite the tourist attraction, which is why we decided to plan the walk during the week.

Another special aspect of this group walk is that we will have a "guide" that not only grew up in this area, but is also in charge of expat services at the tourism department of Flemish Brabant. Nona will give some extra insight into the area and guide us through the first.

We will walk maximum 8km, on walking paths through the forest.

Logistics

Meeting point: Outside Madmum on the station square at 11:30

• We will take the train from Leuven to Halle. Departure (normally from platform B) at 11:41 arrival 12:52. We will meet outside of the Madmum on the station square at (no later than!) 11:30 and walk to the platform together.
• From the train station in Halle we will take a bus to the forest.

Please note that this walk is subject to the blooming of the flowers and the weather. If the flowers haven't bloomed yet, then we will cancel the walk. We did the best at estimating the time the flowers will bloom, since every year it is different.

• We do not have a set time that we will return. This will be subject to the bus and train timings, but we will aim to be back in Leuven before 18:00

What to bring

• You are responsible to get your own train and bus ticket, and we will handle the guiding part :)
• Make sure to wear good walking shoes
• Water!
• You can bring food to have a picnic on the train and snack for the way home
