This is an interesting sculpture. It appear when not expecting anything to be there as you ride along. I am not sure what it is meant to be, but it is like a giant split egg or capsule. I am English and do not know the purpose of it

This area is difficult and dangerous to ride on. It is a thin narrow uphill section but the surface has exposed tree roots that make it difficult to even walk on. You have to lift the bike up here, it is impossible to ride on

A delightful path in the Ruisseau du Blanc Gravier valley. It alternates between a forest path and a stream. It connects the pond with the Quartier Blanc Gravier.

A friend of George Grard, Charles Leplae, like him, appreciated the depiction of female nudes. He regularly imbued them with reserved, pensive, and introspective poses. True to this style and the artist's taste for allegories, this grave-looking sculpture embodies both a young girl and the young woman. Kneeling on the banks of the Deer Pond, in a bucolic setting, it is certainly the most delicate work in the collection. To be brought to the Sart Tilman estate, the original 3.5-meter-high work, installed at the National Bank of Belgium, was reduced to life-size scale and then placed slightly back in its current green setting, into which it blends perfectly, both in color and in its restrained poetry.

At 220 metres high, this limestone cliff offers breathtaking views over the meandering Ourthe valley near Esneux. Once a breeding ground for peregrine falcons, this natural monument is now a protected landscape and one of the most beautiful panoramas in Wallonia. Accessible via the Sentier des Crêtes and other hiking trails, the site offers peace, space and a touch of wilderness.

Charles Leplae Leplae's art is entirely focused on the human figure, especially women. When he represents her naked, he transcends this very nakedness to elevate her to the rank of symbol. The young girl, frozen in bronze, is more than her model. The chaste nudity, the seriousness of the expression, the modest gesture give the representation a universal dimension. This allegory of one of the eras of women could not find a more important location, near a pond rich in the seeds of life. The original 3.5 m high work, designed in 1951, is installed in the architectural complex of the National Bank of Belgium in Brussels. Sculpting techniques make it possible to reproduce and reduce works. Life-size, installed in a wooded setting, the kneeling girl commands respect for the place in an almost authoritative manner and invites an inner dialogue.

Always interesting to read. You will definitely learn something.
