Understand
Sign announcing a site of the European Natura 2000 network.
Created and managed by the Brussels Institute for the Management of the Environment (IBGE), this landscaped route connects the natural, semi-natural green spaces and the developed parks of the second ring of Brussels included in the Natura 2000 network of theEuropean Union and allows you to make a complete tour of the Region without leaving a secure and marked route. The first section was inaugurated in 2007 and the entire route was upgraded in 2009. Some sections are designed to facilitate the movement of people with reduced mobility and others are in progress.
The route, if we stick strictly to following the marked route without going deeper into the visit of the areas encountered, is long 61,03 km and the altitude varies between 1 16 meters and 2 145 meters away . It is divided into seven long sections of 6,3 km To 10,3 km which can be traveled in one direction or the other and with, in certain places, a duplication in order to allow an easy passage of pedestrians and cyclists or to prevent the latter from circulating in too fragile sites.
The network Wireless is accessible all along the route for a fee.

Markup
The main markings consist of dark green panels with a light green pictogram and, in the upper right corner, the numbers “01”. Other figures can also be entered and indicate that a section of a local promenade is common to that of the green promenade.
These signs, sometimes affixed on posts specific to the green promenade and sometimes on road sign posts, are accompanied by a sign indicating the direction recommended but not compulsory.
This signaling is supplemented by staking posts confirming or reminding the direction to take and by posts indicating the direction to take to reach other sites or public transport nodes located nearby.
Finally, the system is enriched by information panels offering a general map and a detailed map of the Brussels Region, but also a text whose theme depends on the natural site where the information panel is installed.
Be careful not to confuse the markings of the green promenade with that of the local walks whose pictograms are identical but orange in color.

With the neighboring Chinese pavilion, the tower contains part of the collections of the Museum of the Far East and more particularly Japanese porcelain. The upper floors offer a view of the Royal Estate of Laeken.

Originally built to become a luxury restaurant, from its inauguration, it was ceded, like the Japanese tower, to the Belgian State for the purpose of to house collections focused on the Far East. Like the tower, if the shell was executed by Belgian companies, the interior decorations as well as the kiosk were made in the country representing the pavilion, here at Shanghai. Here, the collections are centered on Traditional Japanese Art. The park contains a small playground.

Créé au tout début du XXe siècle à l'initiative du roi Léopold II, c'était, à l'origine, un jardin d'acclimatation pour les plantes récoltées dans l'État indépendant du Congo. Les collections de plantes tropicales sont déménagées, en 1951, vers le tout nouveau jardin botanique national de Belgique et les serres démontées en 1954 pour être remplacées par une pelouse.
- 44 Parc Sobieski et jardins du Fleuriste Avenue Jean Sobieski, 1020 Laeken tous les jours de 8 h 15 - 18 h (20 h from 1er mai au 31 août). free. – 4,5 hectares pour le parc Sobieski et 4,44 hectares pour les jardins du Fleuriste. Ces deux espaces naturels indissociables l'un de l'autre, mais également du jardin colonial, sont uniquement séparés par un petit massif boisé constitué d’arbres de grande taille. À l'origine, le parc Sobieski était le verger du domaine royal de Laeken, où l'on cultivait également, sous serre, la vigne, l'oranger, le pêcher et l'abricotier tandis que les jardins du Fleuriste servait de jardin floricole et séricole où l'on cultivait les fleurs d’ornement destinées aux différentes demeures royales. Actuellement, le parc Sobieski, malgré l'intérêt esthétique de la scénographie mise en scène en 1975 avec, entre autres, des haies de charmes taillés en fenêtre, ne conserve plus que quelques pommiers et poiriers hautes tiges d'origine en son centre ; un étang et une plaine de jeux complètent cette première partie. Les jardins du Fleuriste, quand à eux, ont gardés, avec ses deux belvédères offrant chacun une vue sur une pièce d'eau et un panorama vers l'église royale de Laeken et le palais de justice de Bruxelles, leur cachet original et restent voués à l'horticulture et à la floriculture mais, actuellement, dans un but didactique.

Pictogrammes, sur une voiture voyageurs de la SNCB indiquant le compartiment adapté au transport des personnes en chaise roulante et des bicyclettes.
Tout le parcours étant en périphérie de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, rejoindre un point quelconque de celui-ci en voiture n'offre, en général, aucun problème de stationnement que ce dernier soit gratuit ou payant. Hormis le dimanche et les jours fériés, il faut cependant éviter les zones à disque de stationnement car celles-ci autorisant, entre 9 et 18 h, une durée maximale de stationnement de deux heures, il sera difficile de monitorer son emploi du temps.
Tous les trains possèdent, au moins, un compartiment pouvant accueillir les bicyclettes et les personnes à mobilité réduite.
Le réseau de transport en commun de la Région étant fort dense, il n'y aura aucune difficulté pour rejoindre un endroit situé, ou vraiment très proche, d'un point quelconque d'une étape. Les rames du métro possèdent tous un endroit réservé au transport des vélos et beaucoup de stations possèdent, au moins, un ascenseur (plan des stations avec un ascenseur). Les trams des séries 3000 et 4000 (numéro de véhicule débutant par 3 ou 4) sont adaptés au transport des personnes en fauteuil roulant mais hormis dans les stations de métro léger, l'accès ou la descente de la plateforme du tram ne pourra se faire sans une aide extérieure. Les autobus possèdent tous un endroit où arrimer une chaise roulante mais, ici aussi, l'accès ou la descente de la plateforme de l'autobus est impossible sans une aide extérieure. En complément du réseau régulier, la STIB organise un service de transport de personnes handicapées, appelé « Taxibus », qui fonctionne sur réservation téléphonique et propose une desserte en « porte-à-porte ». Le service est assuré du lundi au samedi de 5 h - 1 h.

Un vélo partagé de Villo!.
La société Villo! offre des vélos en libre-service et possède des points d'attache couvrant presque toute la Région. Les vélos sont munis de sept vitesses, d'un panier avant, d'un protège carter arrière, d'un éclairage automatique et d'un antivol intégré. Cependant, ils ne peuvent transporter qu'une seule personne et leur masse est assez élevée. Il arrive aussi, peu souvent, qu'une station soit vide de bicyclette ou, plus rarement, saturée donc dans l'impossibilité de recevoir un vélo.

Circulation
The entire green promenade is carried out either via soft traffic lanes, that is to say reserved for pedestrians and cyclists, or on cycle paths or sidewalks. If the cycle path crosses a roadway or if, as pedestrians, you have to take a pedestrian crossing, the Belgian driver is, in general, courteous and respects weak users, that is to say according to the code of the Belgian road, cyclists, pedestrians and passengers of a vehicle. However, a moment of distraction from a driver is always possible, it is still necessary to remain vigilant and clearly show your intentions. Please note that if you have to cross the road of a tram, this one always has priority whatever the circumstances.
Concerning more particularly cyclists, they are warned, on a soft traffic lane, of a near danger by a bilingual French-Dutch sign specific to the green promenade and asking them to slow down. They are prohibited from riding their bicycles on a one-way street unless the prohibition sign is accompanied by an additional “bicycles excepted” plate, placed at the exit of a limited one-way street. They are always allowed, or even advised in the absence of a cycle path, to use the sites specific to public transport, and in the same direction of travel as this, unless it is also used by trams. .
Whether you are a pedestrian or a cyclist, know that it is forbidden, in a public place, to let a pet wander. So always keep your dog on a leash; some landscaped parks have fenced areas intended to let it roam in peace.
As a general rule, in a natural or semi-natural area, do not leave the paths and paths, especially if the area where you would like to enter is formally prohibited from access either by the presence of a sign or by that of a fence. . Either it can be done for your safety or it is a fragile area for flora and / or fauna.
Always obey the instructions and injunctions of the agents of theIBGE. Also note that they are empowered to draw up an offense report in the areas of air, water and soil pollution, noise damage and waste abandonment.
Flora and fauna
.JPG/220px-20120815_Zonienwoud_(27).JPG)
Common Orvet in the forest of Soignes.
The viral disease of rage is not to be feared. This has been eradicated from Belgium since 2001. The only case reported since was that of a young dog illegally imported from Morocco in 2007.
The only potential danger will be the presence of ticks (Ixodida) or, in summer and autumn, chiggers (Trombicula autumnalis) in the tall grass. The only species of snake you might encounter, mostly in swampy areas or along streams, is the grass snake. (Natrix natrix) which is a non-venomous species.
A tuft of giant hogweed.
Regarding flora, there is no ban on collecting mushrooms that you are sure to recognize as non-toxic. The same goes for wild fruits or apples and pears in old orchards. The only defense is the use of a blueberry comb. The main risk caused by this flora will come from contact with giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), present more particularly along the Molenbeek stream. All this plant contains toxic substances which are activated by sunlight making the skin very sensitive and causing lesions within days. Giant hogweed should not be confused with common hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) which is an edible plant. The first has more than 50 combs in the umbel while the second has less than 35. If you think you will encounter one, do not tear it out yourself but warn a police officer or, in a forest area, a forest ranger.

- Poisonous plants – the National Botanical Garden of Belgium helps you recognize poisonous plants.
