Woluwe
The Woluwe is a river that flows through the southeastern districts of Brussels. It is characterized by a series of walking paths along its banks and various bodies of water, including the Mellaerts Ponds. Travelers visit this area to walk in a natural environment and observe local wildlife away from the urban center.
Getting There
Access from the Brussels city center is available via public transport, including metro and bus lines heading toward the southeastern suburbs. The journey typically takes between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the specific starting point and the chosen destination along the river's course.

Depending on the length of the walk and whether you visit the ponds, allow 2 to 4 hours to explore the riverbanks and surrounding green spaces.
