난드린‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 호수

자갈 채석장은 사진 애호가나 잘 관리된 길을 걷고 새를 조용히 관찰하고 싶은 산책객에게 매우 풍부한 장소입니다. 하이커와 사진가에게 추천하는 장소입니다. 개를 목줄에 매고 다니는 것과 같이 지침을 존중해 주십시오(일부 사람들이 개를 자유롭게 풀어주어도 해를 끼치지 않을 것이라고 생각하더라도, 포식 본능을 가진 동물이 있어 땅에 둥지를 트는 물총새와 같은 일부 새를 쫓아낼 수 있다는 것을 알아두십시오). 또한 새를 방해하지 않도록 수영하지 마십시오. 지침을 존중하는 모든 분들께 감사드리며, 즐거운 하이킹이나 사진 촬영이 되시기를 바랍니다 🙏.

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.

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.

Former quarry now used as a diving center. Magnificent rock visible from the path but the site is only accessible to the diving club

The site, composed of an excavation with extremely eroded slopes, a deep pond and a flat area characterized by an abundance of heather, is in the process of being recolonized by vegetation adapted to this sandy soil, which is very poor in mineral salts. It is therefore home to psammophilous species (which carry out all or part of their life cycle in a sandy substrate): many burrowing insects but also the sand martin. Protected species include the wood turtle dove, the natterjack toad, the smooth snake and the grass snake. Management measures aim to restore the moorland areas, maintain a refuge area for psammophilous insects and restore a cliff that is favorable to the sand martin. The Larbois sandpit, a state-owned nature reserve, is of undeniable aesthetic interest, with its variegated, white, yellow, ochre sands, associated with a few purplish clayey levels. Having sedimented in the Tertiary era in a depression of the Carboniferous limestone, the sands come from the last sea that covered our region around 25 million years ago. They did not transform into sandstone, erosion having dispersed them after the sea retreated. This old sandpit, exploited between 1962 and 1975, is one of the points of interest on the geological trail. Labeling: Site of Great Biological Interest, State-owned nature reserve.

Nice walk at the ponds. You will also find benches and picnic tables near the ponds.
