Sonian Forest

Bryssel (gränsar Flandern och Vallonien) · Belgien · Forest

The Sonian Forest, the vast beech wood on Brussels' southeastern edge, is UNESCO-listed for its cathedral-like 200-year-old trees – and notorious for its fogs. According to a persistent legend, inexplicable banks of mist form here in which eyes suddenly appear, fixing themselves on the walker, and witnesses have described a gigantic shape moving within the fog. The stories recur in Belgian surveys of haunted places and have given the forest a reputation that changes the feel of an evening stroll. Today it is a beloved recreation area – but when twilight mist rolls in between the beech trunks, it is easy to see where the legend was born.
