By traveling together, we believe we can do more than just explore - we can help amplify new voices, create lasting connections, and foster a more meaningful kind of adventure.

We’ll follow an easy loop along the lakes and the Woluwe River, enjoying that unique winter serenity: silhouettes of trees against the sky, reflections on the water, and the quiet shift from day to night.
After the walk, we’ll warm up together with a drink at Brasserie des Étangs Mellaerts, our meeting and parking point.
### 🕯️ A bit of history, softly told at dusk
Created during the Belle Époque (1896–1898) as part of King Leopold II’s urban vision, the park was designed as a landscaped corridor linking Brussels to Tervuren. The gentle river, the chain of lakes, and the elegant avenues still echo that era’s idea of blending beauty, nature, and modern city life.
### 🕓 Plan
- Meet at Brasserie des Étangs Mellaerts, Bd du Souverain 275, 1150 Woluwe-Saint-Pierre
- Parking available on site
- Easy access via Tram 39/44 from Montgomery or Tram 8 from Roodebeek - get off at Musée du Tram
- We start and end the walk at the ClubHouse, followed by warm drinks together ☕
### 🌿 Expect
🍁 Winter foliage, calm lakes, and soft evening light
🦆 Ducks, herons, maybe even a fox if we’re lucky
✨ A cozy, slightly scout-like night walk with red headlamps
🐕 Gentle pace - dogs welcome
