Tree Walks in Brussels

Brussels has one walk that string its ancient trees together on foot, past 20 trees in all. Each one is an afternoon rather than a hike, and every tree on it has a story worth the stop.

The order is ours, worked out from where the trees actually stand; the walking distance is the real one along streets and paths where we have been able to route it, and a straight line between trunks where we have not. Nothing here is a signposted trail.

Sablon / Bruxelles-Ville

20 trees · about 2.13 km · 28 min on foot

Begins at The Ailanthus of Mont des Arts (Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima)) and ends at The Cedar of Lebanon of Parc d'Egmont.

All of these stand in Brussels, where we map 30 remarkable trees in total. Or walk somewhere else: Alicante · Alkmaar · Amersfoort · Amsterdam · Arnhem · Assen

Over 1,900 old trees worth the walk
