Summer evening hike Stockel - Cloître Rouge - Bois de la Cambre (16 km)

Since the weather is sunny in Brussels this week and it is always nice to get outside after a day in the office I’m organizing an evening walk in the parks and forest around our capital.

During this hike we will follow some parts of the “promenade verte” and walk the old “Chemin de fer”, pass the Cloitre Rouge abbaye, see some nice parks and ponds and walk trough the the "Soignies Forest".

After the hike we will continue our good habit of having an ice cream/pancake/ nice drink in “Le Kiosque” in Bois-de-la-Cambre before returning back home. www.lekiosque.eu

Please don't forget to pay Maikel a drink :-)

We will walk at an average speed of 5km/h. We will walk both on paved and unpaved roads. I’ve never walked this road before, so it’s possible there are some mistakes in the planning.

●●Meeting point
We meet at 17h50 in front of the Metro Station in Stockel (Avenue de Hinnisdael). Stockel is the terminus station on the Metro Line 1. We start our hike at 18h00.

This is basic courtesy towards others. People who cancel at the last minute or don’t show up for the hike will be blacklisted for future hikes. Do not show up for a hike unless you are on the roster (i.e. Yes RSVP, but not Wait Listed).
