Avenue de Tervueren Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Universal Exhibition of 1897, organized as part of Belgium's fiftieth anniversary festivities, was spread over two sites: the Parc du Cinquantenaire and the Royal Estate of Tervueren. To connect the two sites, King Leopold II created a main road, Avenue de Tervueren, as well as a tram line connecting the city to the royal domain.

Lake in the Bois de la Cambre

Highlight • Lake

The Ter Kamerenbos in Brussels is a green oasis ideal for cyclists. With wide paths, quiet lanes and beautiful nature, the forest offers a relaxing ride. Enjoy the picturesque lake and the Château de la Cambre here.

Bois de la Cambre

Highlight • Forest

This 123-hectare park, a veritable green lung in a highly urbanized area, serves as a sort of "outstretched hand" from the Sonian Forest to the city center. It is now classified as a Natura 2000 area (since 2004). The Robinson chalet at its center, isolated on its island, completes the romantic postcard setting.

This hilly area offers some very picturesque viewpoints. On our bikes, we'll recall the existence of a velodrome, now defunct, inaugurated in 1893. It's worth noting that in 1906, with the advent of the automobile, the mayor restricted car and motorcycle traffic to only a portion of the road network. This usage is disputed to this day!

Laeken Watercress Farm

Highlight • Structure

Between Laeken Castle and Schaerbeek station, King Leopold II had a plan to create a railway line. But this never saw the light of day.

Instead, shortly after the First World War, it was a cresiculturist who planted seeds and had a bountiful harvest. Since then, the so-called royal watercress has survived the years. Despite a long break of 20 years, it is now coming back to life thanks to an urban market gardening project.

Laeken Castle

Highlight • Castle

Laeken Castle, built in 1782, is surrounded by a large 120 ha park. The residence then bore the name of Schonenberg. Under Napoleon, Schonenberg became a military headquarters, and even a prison. Rebuilt several times, the castle then passed, after the revolts against William I, into the hands of the Belgian State, which made it the residence of Leopold I. All our kings, except Albert II, had their residence there.

The Atomium

Highlight • Monument

Impossible to miss this emblematic monument which stands on your right: the Atomium. Erected on the occasion of the 1958 Universal Exhibition organized on the Heysel Plateau, the Atomium consists of nine spheres 18 meters in diameter for a total height of 102 meters and represents an iron crystal enlarged 165 billion times. The different balls are accessible to the public and retrace the history of the monument and Expo 58. The last ball houses a panoramic restaurant.

Doomed to disappear at the end of the exhibition, the Atomium will be saved by its popularity to become this important international symbol of the city of Brussels but also of Belgium.
