Belgium Bluebell forest Hallerbos near Brussels
This is one of the most magical woods I've ever seen. Around the middle of April to the beginning of May, the whole forest floor looks like a beautiful blue carpet out of bluebell flowers.
Photography Tips
To be honest, I thought that this amazing forest would be crowded as hell (like always a matter of being here at maybe uncomfortable times), but it seems that especially people living nearby visit this place to take a walk and enjoy these amazing flowers. Some parts of the forest are "closed" to save these amazing flowers, but you still have them all around you with lots of opportunities to shoot them. Hallerbos are pretty big, so you really should take your time, take a tripod with you and come early in the morning when you want to have a chance of a misty atmosphere.
If you are there during the day it's better to have sunshine, because some lightened parts on the floor of the forest give your photos more dimension and depth.
You can check on https://www.hallerbos.be/en/ if the flowers are already in bloom!

Travel Information
There are a lot of parking places nearby around Hallerbos, but the streets to get there are extremely narrow.
The best time to be here is very early in the morning because otherwise the parking places may be full already and the forest isn't that crowded during this time. That said it's of course better to be here during the week and not at weekends when everybody wants to see the bluebell flowers during the blooming period.
