nice walk near the Royal Museum for Central Africa. A visit to the museum itself will be for a rainy day .... Free parking near the museum.

You can also follow nodes 4-41-42-4 Beautiful surroundings and very quiet. Lots of birds. You can easily make the walk longer.

In Tervuren park, so beautiful, I walk there, in the snow so beautiful. The sun so low, like a precious jewel, Colours the world with a spectacular splendour. White snowflakes cover the ground, Like a blanket, silent and unhealthy. The sky, bright blue as silk so pure, Radiant above me, full of love and adventure. The sun, like a fireball, red and full of energy, Paints the world with a warm sympathy. The colours dance, a play of light, A serene beauty, a dazzling sight. So I walk on, in Tervuren park, With wonder and admiration in my heart. The splendour of nature, so pure and real, Gives peace and joy, as I have said.
