Timeline
16:04
Grab a snack or coffee at Deli. It is open until 22:00, so you can pick up something to hold onto while you walk.
16:15
Walk six minutes to the Industrial Heritage Monument. The three giant splinters stand as a stark, geometric contrast to the natural world you are about to approach.
17:04
Head south from the monument into the Sonian Forest. At sunset, the trees filter the low light, creating a calm, primeval atmosphere as the day ends.
17:34
Finish your walk by resting at Chez Marius 1er in the Carrefour Planet shopping centre. Order a Belgian beer or a small snack to wash away the day's dust.
Local tip
The walk from the monument to the forest is short, but the forest itself is vast. Stick to the main paths near the edge for the best sunset views without getting lost.
