Bois de la Cambre

Avenue de Flore, Bruxelles, Bruxelles

Description

The Bois de la Cambre (Ter Kamerenbos) is a 122ha park in the south of Brussels consisting of a wooded area (northern part) and an artificial lake with an island (southern part). Set on an island in the middle of the lake, Chalet Robinson is a tea-room café reminiscent of a Swiss chalet. The park is popular for walks, pony rides, jogging and its playgrounds. In the summer it is also possible to rent boats and pedalos.

Access & Transport

The park is 6km to the southeast of the city centre. The following tram stations are next the park: Longchamp (7) in the northwest, Legrand (8, 93) in the north and Cambre-Etoile (7, 8) in the northeast. Tram lines 8 and 25 also run 300-400m parallel to the eastern edge of the park.

Attractions nearby include the Abbaye de la Cambre and the Villa Empain

Meta review

The park gets solid online reviews highlighting its versatility with a mix of wooded areas and open spaces, plenty of trails as well as some restaurants. It is described as a good place for a walk with friends or families (or a dog), and a summer picnic even though some spots can get a little crowded during that season.

Environmental & Social

We deem this activity to be marginally positive from an environmental standpoint, on account of the green space and trees. Improves the living environment of the community.

Conclusion

Not so much a tourist attraction as a go-to place for residents in the summer or for a casual walk without leaving the confines of the city.
