Chill, refresh and reset yourself.
I live nearby so I regularly walk around the lake with my dog, my kids, my wife or all of us together. We don't, but you can: stop to eat, drink or have ice cream at any of the restaurants that circle it. They're pretty good but don't expect the best of anything. Each time I walk around the lake I see new things, fishermen, wildfowl I need to look up in an encyclopedia and huge carp just under the surface of the water. Above all, I let the beauty of the lake and it's stunning properties wash over me and set me up for the day ahead. Just 2.4km around, it's the perfect walk.

A nice lake to walk around -
The 'Lac de Genval' is only about 20 KM form the Brussels city center. It's a nice place to walk around the entire lake. I suggest you avoid a sunny Sunday afternoon, as it may be very crowded. During the week is the best time to stroll around!
