Château de La Hulpe Hike (16km)

### Escape the city. Slow down. Walk together.

## 🌿 Experience Overview

Join us for a relaxed community walk from Boitsfort into the heart of the Sonian Forest, ending at the beautiful Château de La Hulpe.

This is a simple idea: fresh air, nature, and good people.
No pressure — just an afternoon to disconnect from the city and reconnect with others.

Because at the end of the day, people join for connection just as much as the activity .
