Bois du Laerbeek - Laarbeekbos, Nature reserve and heritage site in Jette, Belgium
The 33-hectare beech forest contains three streams, a forest pond, and numerous walking paths across varied elevations reaching 44 meters above sea level.
The Dieleghem Abbey established a limestone quarry at the current forest location during the eleventh century, transforming the landscape over subsequent centuries.
A 1982 memorial dedicated to painter Jan Verdoodt stands at the edge of the forest, connecting artistic expression with natural preservation.
Multiple entry points through Avenue du Laerbeek and Rue du Bois provide access to designated paths for pedestrians and cyclists throughout the year.
The forest supports cavity-nesting birds in aged trees and forms part of a Natura 2000 conservation zone for various bat species.
