Steel Iguanodon Sculpture, Blaton

Highlight • Monument

in 1878, miners discovered the fossilized skeletons of iguanodons during the exploitation of the Bernissart coal mine (Fosse Sainte-Barbe). The iguanodon is a large herbivorous dinosaur that lived in the Lower Cretaceous Period, between 128 and 125 million years ago. The animal was 6-10 m long and weighed more than 4 tons. It stepped on 4 legs but walked on 2.

Grocery Store in Les Ecacheries

Highlight • Rest Area

There is a well-supplied grocery store in Les Ecacheries. You won't see it from the Dender towpath but if you enter the little town, you'll easily find it. The staff are very friendly and willing to help cyclists (topping up your bottle, lending a pump...). A good place to stop for food.

more details on: chateaudebeloeil.com/chateau-de-beloeil-le-versailles-belge

(source Website of the castle) The castle of Beloeil has been established for eight centuries in the middle of its moats, in the land of Hainaut. The vast stately home of the Line princes was first a medieval fortress but over the centuries has been transformed into a pleasure castle. (...)
The castle is not an anonymous, static museum. The objects it contains bear witness to their variety and the evolution of art in general. The very rich library contains 20,000 books, from the invention of printing to the present day. The furniture is a sampling of the works of the best French cabinetmakers of the 17th and 18th centuries
