Halle Forest, Dutch, Belgium.........Mystical Forest with Bluebell Flowers

Really hard to belive that a mystical and fairy tale-like forest actually exists – it’s called Hallerbos (or Halle Forest in Dutch), located in Belgium.

The reason for this is the dense carpet of bluebell flowers

These flowers thrive and bloom in spring and early summer, and it is their characteristic explosion of blue and violet that gives bluebell forests like this one their name.

The early spring blooms attracts many tourists and photographers to Hallerbos.

Foggy conditions are especially good for photographers, giving the woods a mysterious and ghostly atmosphere.

Dense carpets of bluebells are usually an indicator that the forest in question is very old. This doesn't necessarily mean that the trees in the area are old, only that the area has consistently remained wooded for at least 300-400 years.
