The Sint-Pieters-Leeuw Tower, sometimes called the VRT-toren, although there are several by that name, is a 302 metre tall free standing tower at Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, on the outskirts of Brussels, Belgium built in 1994. It is the tallest free standing structure in Belgium and you might hurt your neck looking at it.

This is NOT a road cycling highlight! It's a general landmark/point of interest, but has nothing to do with road cycling (apart from the fact that you can see it from afar). This komoot highlight is not helpful at all.

This telecommunications tower is as tall as the Eiffel Tower! Really.
