This was the route taken by the vanguard of three Prussian corps that marched from Wavre to the Battle of Waterloo on 18 June 1815. If you continue along this path, called Vieux Chemin du Poète, on to Avenue de Nivelles and then Rue des Bluets, cross the N275 and after about 200m you will see on your left at what is called Chapelle Robert a sign celebrating this event. A distance of about 4.5km.

The road is not in good condition you have to go slowly and there is mud and holes, it is more for mountain biking
