Paseo rápido en bici de Bruselas a Hoeilaart

Hop on your bike in the heart of Brussels and set your sights south toward Hoeilaart—a charming gateway to the Sonian Forest, known for its lush greenery and “Glass Village” tradition of greenhouse-grown grapes. This 18 km ride blends city buzz with countryside tranquility, making it a great escape for a relaxed day out.

The route starts with a gentle climb out of Brussels before rolling hills lead you into quieter neighborhoods and wooded areas. About one-third of your ride is on peaceful cycleways, and just over a third uses quiet roads, so you’ll have plenty of space to unwind. Keep an eye out for scenic patches as you skirt the edge of the massive Sonian Forest—perfect for a breather or even a quick snack stop.

The ride is mostly paved and smooth, with minimal gravel or rough surfaces. Once you reach Hoeilaart, reward yourself by exploring the village’s local cafés, or wander into the forest if you’re up for extra adventure. A perfect mix of urban scenery and nature awaits!
