Each year in the spring, the floors of Hallerbos Forest in Belgium are transformed into something out of a magical fairyland. Beautiful flowers known as bluebells carpet the ground and stretch as far as the eye can see. Catching this gorgeous sight can be a bit tricky, as the flowers are notorious for popping up when they see fit and not a moment before. However, your best chance to see the wondrous display in person is typically mid-April.
