Qi Gong

The Molenbeek Valley

The King Baudouin Park covers a large part of the section. While to the east it is a park bringing together sports, leisure and landscaping, the western part, around the Jette and Ganshoren marshes, favors the preservation of nature and biodiversity. This section gives an overview the great diversity of green spaces in the Molenbeek valley.

A few steps from the Promenade Verte, north of King Baudouin Park, the beech groves of the Laerbeek and Dieleghem woods or the little gem that is the Poelbos nature reserve are all green spaces to discover.

The Kattebroek marsh site, at the bottom of the Molenbeek valley, also presents a great diversity of flora and fauna. Further up the valley, near the Nestor Martin poplar grove, the Green Promenade passes through the Zavelenberg nature reserve. This site surprises with its rural aspect, where you can see ruminants grazing against a very urban background. In addition to its landscape appeal, the hedges, wet meadows, woods, clumps of poplars and willows form all valuable biotopes from an ecological point of view. It is today one of the last farms still in operation in the Brussels region.

The Green Promenade also passes along the Wilder site, which, with its gently undulating wooded areas, meadows, pond, orchard and vegetable gardens, constitutes a quality green enclave very close to the historic core of the village of Berchem.
