Details

🏮 Please bring a red-light headlamp or torch (Decathlon has them).
Red mode is required to minimize light pollution, respect wildlife, and keep the peaceful night-walk atmosphere.
As winter approaches and daylight fades earlier, we’ll take advantage of the calm, blue-hour mood for a gentle late-afternoon walk through Parc de Woluwe - one of Brussels’ most elegant urban parks.
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.
