ワーテルローの戦いでフランス皇帝軍が失ったものを記念する記念碑。交通量の多い道のそばにありますが、散策できる歩道があります。

Silent living witnesses of Europe's historic turning point.

One of a total of two birdwatching huts in this part of the nature reserve of the former sedimentation ponds of the Genappe sugar factory. This one offers by far the best view with a beautiful large pond. The lookout hut is accessible via a simple gate (everything else is fenced) and a few stairs. A wonderfully quiet place too and well maintained. The classic information boards with birds that you could observe are present. The surroundings are also beautiful with a lovely path that leads you to the access to the stairs to the hut and offers beautiful views since you are already at a height before you climb to the lookout hut.

Perfect

Beautiful long sunken road👏👏

The cobbled section is recognized as landscape heritage. The Oude Geldenaaksebaan leads from the hamlet of Bet past Mareveld southwards and changes into the Nieuwe Geldenaaksebaan towards Mollendaal. It is a mixed cobbled road constructed in half-brick bond with an alternation of porphyry, Petit Granit and Tiense quartzite. The cobbled road has a reasonably flat profile and was recently reconstructed and provided with sewerage and drainage channels. In a limited number of places, there are still kerbs in Petit Granit. The cobbled road is briefly interrupted and continues as an unpaved sunken road to change into a cobbled road again at the intersection with the Smisstraat. In the course of the 18th and 19th centuries, many previously unpaved connecting roads were cobbled to improve driving comfort. The Oude Geldenaaksebaan had lost its importance in the 19th century in favour of the road that passed through the centre of Bierbeek and was probably not paved until around the middle of the 20th century. The section of road that gave access to the Bergenhof reclamation farm was the first to be paved. The rest of the road only served as a loading road for the surrounding agricultural land and was only paved in the 1970s in function of the increasing development.
