Sonian Forest
Highlight • Forest
The forest has a rich history dating back to the Iron Age and has had various functions over the centuries, such as providing firewood and timber for the construction of houses and ships, and as a backdrop for hunting scenes. The current forest landscape with deciduous trees has its origins in the Austrian period (1714-1795).

Royal Lodge of the Former Hippodrome of Groenendael
Highlight • Monument
After the First World War, this area was used for the dismantling of weapons and ammunition left behind in the Westhoek. German prisoners of war had to clear mines under the supervision of the Belgian army. A fire and subsequent explosions of ammunition on May 6, 1919, heavily damaged the grandstands and buildings of the hippodrome. After another explosion in November, the ammunition depot was completely dismantled in 1920.
Two years later, the racecourse was restored and the grandstands were rebuilt. The royal box for Albert I was only rebuilt in 1924. Its appearance was completely different from the pre-war grandstand. When the current appearance came about is not entirely clear, although the current box is attributed to Albert I in the literature, see also monogram.
