Departure from Braine-l'Alleud (Brabant Wallon)
There are few, very few houses on this circular route starting from Place d’Ophain, but there are fields, woods and more fields and meadows, as well as the quarries of Bois du Foriest. The landscapes are varied and change regularly. As for the residential areas, you’ll discover a side of Braine-l’Alleud that most people are unaware of and, at the end of the walk, a side that has made this town famous: Village No. 1. And your feet will appreciate the regular changes in surface, combining tarmac (very little of it), sand and earth. All the ingredients are there to ensure you enjoy yourself.
Waterloo – Braine-l’Alleud: between town and countryside

Departure from Waterloo (Brabant Wallon)
A circular route starting from Site 1815 to explore the natural surroundings of the Waterloo and Braine-l’Alleud area. One slight hiccup: I have to pick up my two teammates – aged 10 and 12 – on Rue Bodrissart in Le Chenois, Waterloo, which means exploring some residential neighbourhoods before heading out to discover the countryside to the west of these two towns. The advantage is that this route is easy to start from either the indicated starting point or Waterloo station, which is close to Rue Bodrissart. Apart from that, roads, tracks and footpaths wind through woods and fields, taking in the Paradis ponds and the site of the 1815 battlefield.

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.

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 Braine-le-Comte (Hainaut)
The second stage of the Tour de Wallonie takes us today from the town of Braine-le-Comte to Meslin-l’Evèque, a small village in the municipality of Ath to the north-east. We will mainly be walking along small country lanes as we cross this beautiful, gently rolling Hainaut countryside, passing through a few small villages and other hamlets such as Horrues. A short detour of a few metres to view Thoricourt Castle from behind its gates before crossing part of the infamous Ghislenghien industrial estate.

Departure from Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe (Région de Bruxelles-Capitale)
A less direct and flatter route than the outward journey described in another walk. After a shared section along the old railway line that runs over Avenue de Tervueren, followed by Boulevard du Souverain (dedicated cycle lane), the route passes under the Hermann-Debroux Viaduct and climbs towards a pretty neighbourhood in Auderghem before reaching the Forest. It crosses the Chaussée de la Hulpe (at a protected crossing) and reaches Waterloo via a lovely route through the forest.
