♿ Wheelchair accessible

The Hallerbos is a 552-hectare forest, mainly located on the territory of the city of Halle in Flemish Brabant. The forest is world-famous for its spectacular bluebell carpet: for a few weeks in April and May, millions of bluebells colour the forest floor in a breathtaking blue-purple. But even outside the flowering season, the Hallerbos is a beautiful natural area to explore, with oaks, beeches and rich biodiversity.

Wheelchair accessibility has been thoughtfully implemented. There is a specifically adapted 4 km walking route, the Plateau Walk, starting from Parking 4 (Dries 3, 1500 Halle). This route is suitable for wheelchairs and is marked with black and white poles. The course is almost flat, with surfaced paths, and at regular intervals there are benches and an adapted picnic table. Additionally, the 1.8 km Eight Avenues Walk is also suitable for wheelchair users.

During the flowering season, a free shuttle bus with ramp operates, reserved for users with a disability parking card and their companions. The bus stops at Station Square and Parking 4. Advance reservation is required. Disabled parking spaces are available at Parking 4. Sanitary facilities are limited: there are no wheelchair-accessible toilets in the forest itself. Plan to use facilities in the nearby town of Halle before or after your visit.
