Bois de la Cambre - Ter Kamerenbos, Urban forest park in southern Brussels, Belgium
The 123-hectare park contains dense wooded areas in the north section and a 6-hectare artificial lake with Robinson Island in the south.
Created in 1866 under architect Édouard Keilig's direction, the park transformed a section of Sonian Forest while preserving two-thirds of existing trees.
British troops conducted a cricket match in 1815 at the location now marked by a commemorative plaque installed in 1965.
The park offers boat rentals at Chalet Robinson, numerous walking paths, playgrounds, and designated areas for picnicking throughout the grounds.
The 24 heures vélo du bois de la Cambre cycling event takes place annually since 1985, gathering scout groups from across the region.

Brussels combines baroque guild houses, neo-Gothic churches, and modern architecture. The Grand Place forms the historic center with its cobblestone square and gilded facades. The Atomium from 1958 stands in the northern part of the city, displaying the structure of a magnified iron crystal. Saint Michael and Gudula Cathedral preserves Gothic stained glass and wood carvings from the 13th century. The city holds numerous collections of European painting at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts and the Magritte Museum. The Palais de Justice sits on a hill overlooking the city, while the Royal Palace serves as the official residence of the Belgian monarchy. Parks such as Bois de la Cambre and Cinquantenaire Park offer open spaces between city districts. The Belgian Comic Strip Center and the Horta Museum document Belgian contributions to illustration and Art Nouveau design.
