    Mountain biking

    The Lion's Mound is an artificial hill created in 1826 to commemorate the battlefield of Waterloo from 1815. The hill gives a view over the battlefield and the entire area. 226 step lead up to the Mound's summit where the statue of the Lion is found. The museum next to the Mound gives more background on the political situation in the early 19th century and the history of the area. A cultural site not to be missed on your bike packing trip!
