This Sunday, we complete our summer adventure around Brussels with the final segment of the Promenade Verte — a walk through the layered, green-industrial beauty of the Molenbeek Valley.
This is a segment of contrasts: marshlands and meadows, rail lines and backstreets, garden cities and forgotten streams. It’s not just the end of the loop — it’s a look at Brussels’ resilient margins, where ecology and memory still resist erasure.
Highlights include:
🌿 The Scheutbos — panoramic views, wetlands, and Galloway cattle grazing
🏡 The peaceful Bon Air and Moortebeek garden cities
🛤️ Old railways, city edges, and the elusive Molenbeek stream
🌳 Urban wildlands, birdsong, and glimpses of an older Brussels, still quietly present

🍽️ Dinner/drink options at the end – we’ll decide together:
• L'Athome – cozy Romanian restaurant 🇷🇴
• A nearby Brasserie for local Belgian food & drinks
• Or a casual fritkot on the Place St Lambert for those who prefer something simple outdoors 🍟
Let’s end the Promenade Verte challenge in good company — with food, drinks, and that sense of “we actually walked the whole circle around the city” 🥂
