the blue forest of Belgium which attracts all eyes

In Hal (Belgium), you can see a carpet of hyacinths over hundreds of hectares. It is a unique spectacle in the world which attracts thousands of tourists every spring. “It’s beautiful, we didn’t expect that”, launches a foreign visitor. Since the appearance of social networks, photographs taken by tourists have made it popular.

Barriers and a horse patrol

Wood is now a victim of its own success. The former ranger of the place saw nature deteriorating. “It’s not a flower park, it’s rare and protected vegetation”, he says. Barriers have been installed to prevent the public from trampling these flowers and a police patrol on horseback.
