You are invited to join this oneway hike by the Meetup group "Walking, Talking, maybe a Picknick". This is a great opportunity to see Chateau LaHulpe from different angles and wander through the Forêt de Soignes whilst experiencing autumn leaves and mushrooms here and there.😊

Place Meiser in Boitsfort.😊

When
Sunday 15/11
09:30 Assembly, outside La Hulpe train station.
09:40 Start (, no waiting for late comers.)

Intro
We're going to hike 19+km through the Forêt de Soignes/Zoniënwoud, with a possible coffee break in the buvette of Chateau La Hulpe and/or at the Plek buvette, from which there is a possibility to catch a train or bus at the Groenendaal train station. Please check this out yourselves. This will shorten your hike to 14+ km, though it may well be worth the while to continue to place Wiener.

The forest has varied terrain, many small hills and many cycling and walking paths.
As this will be a sunny autumn Sunday in November, the trees have shed many of their leaves which give many types of mushrooms plenty of decomposing work todo.

Start, assembly and finish location
We will start at La Hulpe train station and end near Place Wiener in Boitsfort.
