A mainly rural route, linking the villages of Marbais, Villers-la-Ville, Tilly, Marbisoux and Wagnelée, whilst avoiding roads with traffic as far as possible. You’ll see the Rigenée and La Bruyère golf courses, the Châtelet, the old Hollers mill, the Romanesque church at Villers-la-Ville and its altarpieces, the monument to t’Serclaes in Tilly, Chassart, the meadow and the target at the Tir au D’Jirau, and the Monument to the Desecrated Hosts.

From town to town, this final stage takes us from Louvain-la-Neuve to Braine-l’Alleud, once again favouring country roads and lanes as well as the little-known paths of Walloon Brabant. A thoroughly enjoyable and surprising final stage that is an absolute must-see.

Departure from Waterloo (Brabant Wallon)
This walking tour of Wallonia, which includes the German-speaking part of Belgium, is a circular route that generally follows the borders as closely as possible, whether linguistic or territorial. This sometimes involves forays into neighbouring territories – France, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Flemish Region. Occasionally, the route also deviates from this due to accommodation requirements or because suitable accommodation could not be found close to the borders, whilst still adhering to various constraints.

Departure from Waterloo (Brabant Wallon)
Starting from the 1815 site, this first stage of my tour of Wallonia connects two towns named Braine – Braine-l’Alleud and Braine-le-Comte – whilst prioritising routes away from towns and villages as much as possible. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they are farm tracks or footpaths. Where possible, yes; otherwise, mostly small country roads.

Departure from Waterloo (Brabant Wallon)
This is a direct route that runs along the edge of the Soignes Forest. There are few roads and the junctions are safe. One tricky spot is when crossing the junction under the Hermann-Debroux viaduct. There is another route further to the east which passes through a lovely neighbourhood in Auderghem before reaching the Sonian Forest and crossing it.
