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!

Lion's Mound

Highlight • Monument

Allows you to get close to Butte du Lion when still on your bike. Road is asphalt and a few very well maintained cobbles.

Great forest path

Highlight • Trail

I wouldn't describe it as a single track because it's too wide in front, but it's a nice fast driving trail with gravel surface. So also ideal for gravel bikes.

Forest trail in Nationaal Park Brabantse Wouden

Highlight • Trail

This national park has vast deciduous and coniferous forests, where you can cycle all year round. In spring and summer, the dense trees provide shade, while in autumn the paths are covered in a colourful blanket of falling leaves. A beautiful path to cycle on.
