INDONEWTRAVEL.COM - Forest is an area overgrown with trees and other plants. Forests are an important part of the ecosystem. Besides functioning as the lungs of the world that provides water and oxygen reserves, forests are also a habitat for flora and fauna.
Nearly 10 percent of all parts of the earth consist of forests. In every country there are various types of forests. There are tropical rain forests, savannas, as well as pine and spruce forests that are characteristic of forests in cold climates such as Europe and America. Some forest areas are protected by the government as conservation areas, while some are used as tourist areas because of their beautiful scenery.

Formerly this forest was part of the Sonian Forest, the largest forest in Europe that lies in the southern part of Brussels. The beauty of the Hallerbos Forest is often compared to the beauty of the Keukenhof Flower Field in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. But what makes this forest more unique compared to Keukenhof is that Hallerbos is naturally formed. Meanwhile, the flowers at Keukenhof were deliberately planted by humans. Because Hallerbos is a public forest, visitors are not charged anything if they want to enter the forest area and see the beauty of the blue hyacinth flowers there.
