Sonian Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sonian Forest (Dutch: Zoniënwoud, French: Forêt de Soignes) is a 43 km² forest on the southeast of Brussels, Belgium.
The Forest lays in the Flemish municipacilties of Sint-Genesius-Rode, Hoeilaart, Overijse and Tervuren, in Ukkel, Watermaal-Bosvoorde, Oudergem and Sint-Pieters-Woluwe in the Brussels-Capital Region and the Walloon towns of La Hulpe and Waterloo, Belgium. Thus, it streches out over all three Belgian Regions.
It is maintained by Flanders (56%), the Brussels-Capital Region (38%) and Wallonia (6%). Adjacent are some privat parts and the Kapucijnenbos which belongs to the Koninklijke Schenking.
The forest consists mainly of European beeches and oaks.
