At the end of the Linthoutlei in Brasschaat you will find a kind of forest. But the name of this forest is The Brussels Forests. But my question is how did this forest in Brasschaat get that name?

Answer
The order for afforestation of this part of Brasschaat came from Brussels. That is why this piece of forest is referred to as the Brussels forests. You can find more information about the history of the forests in Brasschaat on the website of the nature guides of Brasschaat (you will find the link on the right under your photo).
