Hotels in Groene Gordel, Belgium
Groene Gordel wraps around Brussels in Belgium's Flemish Brabant, famous for its green valleys, medieval castles like Gaasbeek and Horst, and the Hallerbos forest that turns into a bluebell carpet each April. The climate is mild year-round (temps average 40-73°F or 4-23°C), making spring the perfect time to hike through the flowering Hallerbos, while summer invites you to cycle the 200 km of marked trails past moated castles and windmills. In autumn, the leaves change in the rolling hills around Overijse, and winter lets you explore the brick-and-stone interiors of Beersel Castle without the crowds.
