Château de La Hulpe Hike (16km)
About the event
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.
