View of the Lion's Mound

Highlight • Monument

The Butte du Lion in Waterloo is an impressive sight with the iconic lion on top. This imposing memorial rises high from the surrounding landscape and marks the famous battlefield where the battle of 1815 was fought. A special place to behold, where history and nature come together in one monument.

A very nice building in the middle of nowhere. A nice surprise after riding in the mud surrounded by scarecrows.

Monument to the Belgians

Highlight • Monument

Of the 4,200 Belgians who took part in the Battle of Waterloo, 1200 people died...
The paradox of history: Belgians fought in both camps on June 18, 1815!

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.

View of the Lion's Mound at Waterloo

Highlight • Monument

Panorama of the Battle of Waterloo (French: Panorama de la Bataille de Waterloo) is a cylindrical painting 12 meters high and 110 meters long. The painting, created in 1915, shows the Battle of Waterloo. It was painted by Louis-Jules Dumoulin.

The panorama is located near the Lion of Waterloo in Braine-l'Alleud. Since 2015, the panorama has been part of the Mémorial 1815 museum.
The painting is located in a building that can be characterized as a roundabout in terms of architectural style. The raised center of the rotunda and the perspective talent of Louis DuMoulin gives the viewer the feeling that he is looking out at scenes set during the Battle of Waterloo. In addition to the visual aspect, sound effects are played to give the viewer the most realistic experience possible of the battle between the infantry and the cavalry.
In July 2008, the International Panorama Council had the panorama added to Belgium's preliminary proposal for the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Lion's Mound

Highlight • Monument

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!

Hougoumont Wood

Highlight • Forest

In the early hours of the Battle of Waterloo, the French attacked the far right of the Allies, mainly through the forests of Hougoumont. They tried to create a diversion to force Wellington to vacate his center. What was initially intended only as a diversionary maneuver became the most violent scene of the battle.
